Exploring the Full Body Representation in Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa

"The MMC will be used as a measure of MI and it is adapted for use in hands, feet, and the whole body as well as for online experimentation. The task is comprised of two conditions, MI, and motor execution, in which respectively participants will be asked to imagine and execute a movement sequence with both hands and feet and the whole body.~Hand movements: index and thumb opposition; thumb extension from the fist; middle finger crossed on the index finger; and extension of the index and the little fingers.~Foot movements: foot internal rotation, foot external rotation, foot dorsiflexion, and foot plantarflexion.~Whole-body movements: take a small bow, lift arms over the head and stand on the tips of the toes (stretch), extend hands forward and lower the backside (squats) and a small jump.~The types of movements required to be executed by participants are simple and do not require much energy. Therefore, people affected by AN and BN should be able to perform them without problems."
