Abstract

ABSTRACT

Motor imagery has emerged as a potential rehabilitation tool in stroke. The goals of this study were: 1) to develop a translated and culturally-adapted Brazilian-Portugese version of the Kinesthetic and Visual Motor Imagery Questionnaire (KVIQ20-P); 2) to evaluate the psychometric characteristics of the scale in a group of patients with stroke and in an age-matched control group; 3) to compare the KVIQ20 performance between the two groups.

Methods Test-retest, inter-rater reliabilities, and internal consistencies were evaluated in 40 patients with stroke and 31 healthy participants.

Results In the stroke group, ICC confidence intervals showed excellent test-retest and inter-rater reliabilities. Cronbach’s alpha also indicated excellent internal consistency. Results for controls were comparable to those obtained in persons with stroke.

Conclusions The excellent psychometric properties of the KVIQ20-P should be considered during the design of studies of motor imagery interventions for stroke rehabilitation.

RESUMO

A Imagética Mental é uma ferramenta em potencial para a reabilitação de indivíduos com doenças cerebrovasculares. Os objetivos desse estudo foram: 1) Desenvolver uma versão traduzida e adaptada culturalmente do Questionário de Imagética Motora Cinestésica e Visual (KVIQ20-P); 2) Avaliar as características psicométricas da escala nesse grupo e em controles; 3) Comparar o desempenho na escala entre os dois grupos.

Métodos Confiabilidades teste-reteste, interexaminador, assim como consistências internas da KVIQ20-P foram avaliadas em 40 indivíduos com AVC e em 31 controles.

Resultados No grupo de pacientes, os intervalos de confiança mostraram excelentes confiabilidades teste-reteste e interexaminador. O alfa de Cronbach indicou uma excelente consistência interna. Os resultados no grupo controle foram comparáveis aos obtidos nos pacientes.

Conclusões As excelentes propriedades psicométricas da KVIQ20-P devem ser consideradas durante o desenho de estudos de Imagética Mental para a reabilitação de indivíduos com doenças cerebrovasculares.
