Currently, the use of motor imagery as a therapeutic strategy has expanded to neurological conditions such as cerebrovascular disease (CVD). In Colombia, the estimated prevalence rate is 19.9 per 1,000 inhabitants over 50 years of age. CVD produces lesions associated mainly with motor impairments, which in all cases alter gait—an essential activity for human independence. This study proposed functional gait rehabilitation through the use of cognitive strategies that complement traditionally applied physiotherapeutic techniques. The therapeutic approach employed motor imagery, which incorporates elements of memory, programming, and anticipation of movement patterns involved in gait.
Objective: To determine the effect of a motor imagery program on gait cadence in a group of patients aged 50 to 80 years with hemiparesis secondary to cerebrovascular disease.
Methodology: Twenty-eight subjects were studied, divided into an experimental group and a control group. A quasi-experimental crossover group design was implemented, and gait analysis was carried out using videography to assess the program’s effect.
Results: Variations in cadence were observed, representing clinical improvement, with statistically significant changes.
