註釋Motor imagery (MI) is a strategy to enhance rehabilitation outcomes by providing opportunities to mentally practice movements during and outside regular therapy intervention sessions. MI is safe and can be done without the supervision of a therapist, as the client is not moving through space. Therefore, it provides a cost-effective, additive effect to traditional rehabilitation. The Vividness of Motor Imagery Questionnaire - 2(VMIQ-2) is a reliable and valid tool to assess MI ability in sports athletes and healthy individuals to improve motor performance. However, its reliability and validity have not been established in individuals with neurological motor impairments. The VMIQ-2 assesses MI in 3 dimensions: external visual imagery (EVI), internal visual imagery (IVI), and kinesthetic imagery (KI). Since motor impairment is a major cause of physical disability associated with a neurological condition, it is important to understand the client's potential for using MI as part of their intervention. The purpose of this study was to explore the psychometric properties of the VMIQ-2 in individuals with neurological motor impairments. The study examined test-retest reliability and concurrent and predictive validity of the VIMQ-2 by studying correlations between the VIMQ-2 and the Kinesthetic and Visual Imagery Questionnaire-10 (KVIQ-10) as well as the Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS). Correlations between the VIMQ-2 and the LEFS add to our understanding of the relationship between the vividness of MI and lower extremity function.
