Effectiveness of motor imagery for improving functional performance after total knee arthroplasty: a systematic review with meta-analysis
J Orthop Surg Res. 2022 Feb 2;17(1): 65.Six studies (168 patients) were included in this meta-analysis comparing motor imagery and physical therapy to physical therapy alone.
