Abstract

Purpose: Motor imagery is considered as a complementary approach for functional recovery after stroke. Thus, applying reliable assessment tools to measure imagery ability in stroke is essential. The aims of this study were to apply Turkish versions of the Movement Imagery Questionnaire-3 (MIQ-3) and the Kinesthetic and Visual Imagery Questionnaire-20 (KVIQ-20) in individuals with stroke and investigate the validity and reliability of both questionnaires.
 Methods: Stroke patients with mild functional impairments (n=31) and healthy volunteers who age- and
 gender-matched were selected as a control group (n=29) were recruited to the study. The test-retest reliability was assessed using intra-class correlation coefficients (ICCs). Spearman’s correlation analysis
 was performed to assess concurrent validity of the KVIQ-20 with the MIQ-3. Furthermore, the internal
 consistency (Cronbach’s alpha) and factorial structures of both questionnaires were investigated.
 Results: Each sub-score of the MIQ-3 was found statistically different between stroke and control groups (p
