This paper depicts an approach aiming to allow individuals with orthopedic trauma injuries to optimize recovery and safely return to daily life. The core of this approach is motor simulation, used in complement to conventional physical rehabilitation methods. This paper provides recent scientific insights on the basis of motor simulation, discusses benefits of this approach in motor rehabilitation, and provides applied perspectives.
