About

1. Validation of translated Motor Imagery ability questionnaire MIQ-RS
2. Investigating the Motor Imagery ability in patients with traumatic brain injury

Full description

1. Translation of the MIQ-RS following the WHO guidelines. Followed by a validation of this translated questionnaire in patients with traumatic brain injury and in healthy volunteers.

2. Investigating the motor imagery ability using 3 different test

   • MIQ-RS (movement imagery questionnaire)
   • TDMI (time dependent motor imagery)
   • mental chronometry test

Patients and controls will perform all 3 test twice with an interval of 2 weeks to measure the test-retest reliability.

Enrollment: 49 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• TBI minimum 3 months ago and maximal 1 year ago

Exclusion criteria

• Other neurological disorders
• Severe cognitive deficits, unable to understand the study protocol
• Severe motor impairment, unable to perform the TDMI (Time Dependent Motor Imagery) screening test

Control group:

Matched for age, sex and educational level No neurological disorders present

Trial design

Primary purpose: Treatment

Allocation: Non-Randomized

Interventional model: Parallel Assignment

49 participants in 2 patient groups

Traumatic brain injury

Experimental group

Description:

Patients who have suffered a traumatic brain injury will be assessed with a test battery including * a motor imagery ability questionnaire (MIQ-rs) * a mental rotation test * a chronometry test (TDMI)

Treatment:

Other: Test battery to measure the motor imagery ability

Control

Active Comparator group

Description:

Healthy volunteers matched for age, sex and educational level will be assessed with the same test battery including * a motor imagery ability questionnaire (MIQ-RS) * a mental rotation test * a chronometry test (TDMI)

Treatment:

Other: Test battery to measure the motor imagery ability
