Characterization of Kinesthetic Motor Imageries for Right-handed People

Abstract

Many studies have reported inconsistent results and features even when imagining the same movement using kinesthetic motor imagery (KMI). This inconsistency may be attributed to how individuals perform kinesthetic motor imagery, which has not been compared in previous research. To address this gap, this study categorizes kinesthetic motor imagery into two types of KMI; double-hand kinesthetic (D-KMI) and single-hand kinesthetic motor imagery (S-KMI). The primary objective of this study is to investigate whether there are differences between D-KMI and S-KMI and whether these differences contribute to variations in the results reported in previous research.
