The information obtained in the experiment shows that the combination of both physiological and mental training is much better than only using physical training alone. This is important in restoring the balance and gait ability of stroke patients. Six weeks of task-specific motor imagery training was a significant improvement in muscle strength, balance and gait ability in ambulant stroke subjects for both groups. Thus, Motor Imagery Training has been confirmed that it can improve motor performance and learning, neural reorganization and cortical activation in stroke. It has a good effect on motor performance and motor learning in stroke rehabilitation. The combination as illustrated in the study shows more promising results than the use of physical training
