Using an integrated motor imagery and physical training intervention after knee injury: an interim analysis of the MOTIFS randomised controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Physical function is often a main focus of knee injury rehabilitation, but recent recommendations include increasing attention to psychological factors. We have developed the MOTor Imagery to Facilitate Sensorimotor re-learning (MOTIFS) training model which integrates dynamic motor imagery into physical rehabilitation. The objective is to report interim analysis results of an adaptive randomised controlled trial regarding the pre-defined continuation criteria.

Methods

Following a 12-week intervention in which participants were randomised to either MOTIFS or Care-as-Usual training, n=42 people undergoing rehabilitation for a traumatic knee injury were assessed for change from baseline to follow-up in psychological readiness to return to activity, using the ACL Retu
