Abstract: Objective To study the effects of motor imagery therapy on lower limb function rehabilitation and self-efficacy in patients with spinal cord injury. Methods Seventy-six patients with incomplete spinal cord injury were randomly divided into study group and control group, with 38 cases in each group. Control group was given routine rehabilitation training, and study group was given motor imagery therapy on this basis. The lower limb function (Functional Ambulation Category, FAC), self-efficacy (general self-efficacy table, GSES), independent living capacity (modified Barthel index, MBI) and disease recovery (motor and sensory scores of American spinal cord injury association, ASIA) were compared between the two groups before intervention and after 8 weeks of intervention. Results After 8 weeks of intervention, the excellent and good rate of ambulation status in study group was significantly higher than that in control group, and the scores of GSES, MBI and motor, touch and pinprick sensation of ASIA in study group were significantly higher than those before intervention, and were significantly larger than those in control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Motor imagery therapy can effectively promote the recovery of lower limb function in patients with spinal cord injury, and improve the self-efficacy and independent living capacity, which is conducive to prognosis of patients.
