Abstract: 

The objective of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of training in Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), mentally performed, as a complement to traditional occupational therapeutic intervention in rehabilitation. To this end, in a Federal Institution of Higher Education, stroke survivors were grouped into a control group (CG) and a mental practice group (MPG), administering of the Mini Mental State Examination (Mini Mental), and a test based on the Revised Movement Imagery Questionnaire - Revised for Stroke (MIQ-RS). Assessment and recording performed included Muscle Strength Scale - Medical Research Council (MRC); Esthesiometer; and Functional Independence Measure (FIM). Treatment consisted of 20 sessions of one-hour duration (50 minutes based on ADLs and 10 minutes of mental practice [MP] or relaxation). Physical tests demonstrated the recovery of Occupational Performance Components tested in the MPG. The FIM certified the functional recovery and pointed out the speed on MPG rehabilitation. These results indicate that MP, combined with the traditional ADL rehabilitation program, promotes physical-functional gains.
