Non-physical practice improves task performance in an unstable, perturbed environment: Motor imagery and observational balance training

For consciously performed motor tasks executed in a defined and constant way, both motor imagery (MI) and action observation (AO) have been shown to promote motor learning. It is not known whether these forms of non-physical training also improve motor actions when these actions have to be variably...
