Introduction[edit | edit source]
Action Observation (AO) is a dynamic state during which the observer can understand what the other is doing by simulating the actions and outcomes that are likely to follow from the observed motor act.[1]
Action Observation Therapy (AOT) is a top down approch and is grounded in basic neuroscience and the recent discovery of the mirror neuron system (MNS)[2][3]. AOT commonly includes action observation and action execution and allows patients to safely practice movements and motor tasks.[3]
Purpose[edit | edit source]
- To recover damaged cerebral networks and take advantage to rebuild motor function despite impairments, as an alternative or complement to physiotherapy.[4]
- Promote functional reorganization within the brain via activation of mirror neurons in order to promote motor function recovery.[5]
Technique[edit | edit source]
There are not such specific rule for performing the therapy but still the general process is:
During each rehabilitation session, patients are required to observe a specific object-directed daily action presented through a video clip on a computer screen, and afterwards to execute what they have observed. Only one action is practiced during each rehabilitation session. The presented action can be divided into three to four motor tasks. The presented task can be shown from different perspective for the better outcome[6]
Phases:[edit | edit source]
- Observation phase : during this phase, patient is asked to carefully observe the given video.
- Execution phase: during this phase, patient is asked to perform the observed motor task at the best of his/her ability.[6]
Time duration:[edit | edit source]
There is not such a rule for performing the task but typical AOT rehabilitation session takes half an hour. A few minutes are needed by the physiotherapist to explain the task to the patient (carefully looking at the movie, paying attention also to the details of presented actions) and to motivate him to the task, then 12 min of observation (3 min for each of the motor acts into which the action is divided) and finally 8 min of execution (2 min for each motor act). There is not any evidence available regarding whether a more intensive practice, for example 1 h per session, is better than half an hour.[6]
Actions used:[edit | edit source]
- Transitive actions : Actions with object interaction, e.g., using a pencil
- Intransitive actions : Actions without object interaction, e.g., the opposition of the index finger and the thumb as the pantomime of a precision grasping) [7]
Measuring AOT results[edit | edit source]
Evaluation of the result while performing the AOT is the vital thing to be considered. The use of an appropriate scale or index is a basic requisite to analyze the efficacy of any rehabilitative therapy.[7]
