Measuring Motor Imagery Ability in Patients With Traumatic Brain Injury.

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Healthy; Traumatic Brain Injury
• Interventions: Other: Test battery to measure the motor imagery ability

• Registration Number: NCT03315273
• Lead Sponsor: University Ghent

Brief Summary

1. Validation of translated Motor Imagery ability questionnaire MIQ-RS

2. Investigating the Motor Imagery ability in patients with traumatic brain injury

Detailed 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.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Traumatic brain injury	Test battery to measure the motor imagery ability	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)
Control	Test battery to measure the motor imagery ability	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)

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Motor imagery ability	2 assessments with an interval of 2 weeks	Results of test battery assessing motor imagery ability
Validity translated MIQ-RS	2 assessments with an interval of 2 weeks	Validity of the translated MIQ-RS in patients with traumatic brain injury and healthy volunteers

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Test-retest reliability	2 assessments with an interval of 2 weeks	Test- retest reliability of the motor imagery ability test battery
