Measuring Motor Imagery Ability in Patients With Traumatic Brain Injury.

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Validation of translated Motor Imagery ability questionnaire MIQ-RS Investigating the Motor Imagery ability in patients with traumatic brain injury

Detailed Description
-----------------
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. 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.

Masking: None (Open Label)


Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
| --- | --- |
| Experimental: Traumatic brain injury<br>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) | Other: Test battery to measure the motor imagery ability<br>* Participants will perform 3 different tests to measure the motor imagery ability<br>|
| Active Comparator: Control<br>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) | Other: Test battery to measure the motor imagery ability<br>* Participants will perform 3 different tests to measure the motor imagery ability<br>|
