简要总结
Motor imagery is increasingly used as a plasticity-booster to complement conventional rehabilitation. Here the investigators test the hypothesis that the combination of mental training with conventional rehabilitation may speed up the recovery in patients with total knee arthroplasty. The investigators also characterize the brain correlates of such recovery with imagery tasks for virtual reality environments.

结局指标
主要结局
Speed of walking
时间窗: 20 days
The speed of walking recorded in total knee arthroplasty patients of the experimental group will be compared with the same measure recorded in both control groups.
BOLD (blood oxygen level-dependent) activity
时间窗: 20 days
The BOLD activity recorded during functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in TKA patients of the experimental group will be compared with the same measure recorded in both control groups.
