However, it is an especially common circumstance during the development of motor skills in childhood. Studies on healthy humans indicate that action observation induces a facilitation in the observer's motor system. This effect is supported by an action\u2010perception matching mechanism available both in adults and in children. Because of the simplicity of action observation, it has been proposed to apply this method in clinical contexts. After a brief, non\u2010exhaustive introduction of the essential features underlying action observation in healthy people, we review recent studies reporting beneficial effects of rehabilitative training based on a combination of action perception and execution. We focus on therapeutic interventions for patients with upper\u2010limb motor disabilities such as adults after stroke or children with hemiplegia due to cerebral palsy. Further, we consider data from basic science demonstrating that the facilitation induced by visual perception of the action can be modulated by the combination of multimodal stimuli related to the movement (e.g. visual and acoustic action\u2010related inputs). In line with this, we discuss possible new directions to improve basic knowledge and therapeutic applications of action observation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/dmcn.12686","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,2,18]],"date-time":"2015-02-18T02:37:06Z","timestamp":1424227026000},"page":"42-45","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Activating the motor system through action observation: is this an efficient approach in adults and children?"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"57","author":[{"given":"Michela","family":"Bassolino","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Robotics, Brain and Cognitive Sciences Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia Genova Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giulio","family":"Sandini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Robotics, Brain and Cognitive Sciences Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia Genova Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thierry","family":"Pozzo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Robotics, Brain and Cognitive Sciences Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia Genova Italy"},{"name":"Institut Universitaire de France (IUF) Institut National de la Sant\u00e9 et de la Recherche M\u00e9dicale (INSERM) U1093 Cognition Action et Plasticit\u00e9 Sensorimotrice Universit\u00e9 de Bourgogne Dijon France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,2,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/35090060"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1098\/rstb.2013.0185"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/cercor\/bht190"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1098\/rstb.2013.0620"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.neuroimage.2008.07.057"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/brb3.50"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","first-page":"313","article-title":"Action observation and mirror neuron network: a tool for motor stroke rehabilitation","volume":"48","author":"Sale P","year":"2012","journal-title":"Eur J Phys Rehabil Med"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.neuroimage.2007.03.043"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1469-8749.2012.04334.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1545968313497101"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ridd.2013.03.020"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00221-010-2344-x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.1070311"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00221-012-3046-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.neuropsychologia.2009.05.006"}],"container-title":["Developmental Medicine &amp; Child Neurology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1111%2Fdmcn.12686","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/dmcn.12686","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,13]],"date-time":"2023-09-13T18:31:27Z","timestamp":1694629887000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/dmcn.12686"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2015,2,17]]},"references-count":15,"journal-issue":{"issue":"s2","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2015,4]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1111\/dmcn.12686"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/dmcn.12686","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0012-1622","1469-8749"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0012-1622","type":"print"},{"value":"1469-8749","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2015,2,17]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2014-09-05","order":1,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2015-02-17","order":2,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
