Brief Summary

Motor imagery is the mental representation of movement without any doing body movement. A main function of imagery is to aid the self-regulation of thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Studies have shown to be more effective for individuals displaying a higher level of imagery ability when using imagery to improve motor and motivational outcomes, including self-efficacy. The aim of this study is to measure the movement imagery ability in patients with Familial Mediterranean Fever and compare it with healthy individuals.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Movement Imagery Questionnaire-3 (MIQ-3)

  It is a questionnaire containing 12 items to evaluate the visual imagination skills of the individual. It evaluates internal visual imagery, external visual imagery, and kinesthetic imagery. For each item, first of all, individuals read the description of the movement, and then it is desired to perform the movement physically and after that, the same movement is requested. Individuals evaluate the degree of imagination on a 7-point Likert-type scale ranging from 1 (very difficult to see/feel) to 7 (very easy to see/feel). The motion visualization questionnaire has good psychometric properties, internal reliability, and estimated validity.
