Does Action Observation of the Whole Task Influence Mirror Neuron System and Upper Limb Muscle Activity Better Than Part Task in People With Stroke?

Background: Task‐based action observation and imitation (AOI) is a promising intervention to enhance upper limb (UL) motor function poststroke. However, whether whole/part task must be trained in the AOI therapy needs further substantiation. Objective: The objective of this study is to assess and co...

      ab: Background: Task‐based action observation and imitation (AOI) is a promising intervention to enhance upper limb (UL) motor function poststroke. However, whether whole/part task must be trained in the AOI therapy needs further substantiation. Objective: The objective of this study is to assess and compare the mirror neuron activity and UL muscle activity during AOI of reaching task in terms of whole task (complete movement) and part task (proximal arm movements and distal arm movements). Methods: In this cross‐sectional study, 26 participants with first‐time unilateral stroke were asked to observe the prerecorded videos of a reaching task in terms of a whole task and proximal and distal components, followed by imitation of the task, respectively. Electroencephalographic (EEG) mu rhythm suppression and electromyographic amplitude of six UL muscles were measured during the task. Results: The analysis of EEG revealed a statistically significant mu suppression score, indicating mirror neuron system activity, during AOI of the whole task in C3 (p = <0.001) and C4 (p = <0.001) electrodes compared to the part task. Percentage maximum voluntary contraction amplitudes of the deltoid (p = 0.002), supraspinatus (p = <0.001), triceps brachii (p = 0.002), brachioradialis (p = 0.006), and extensor carpi radialis (p = <0.001) muscles showed a significant increase in muscle activity during AOI of the whole task. Also, there seems to be a task observation–specific activation of muscles following AOI of proximal or distal tasks. Conclusion: The practice of the whole task should be given emphasis while framing the AOI treatment module to enhance reaching in people with stroke.
