Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to adapt the questionnaire named "Kinesthetic Motor Imagery of Pelvic Floor Muscle Contraction Questionnaire (KMI-PFQ)" into Turkish in healthy women and to introduce it to the literature as a valid and reliable questionnaire.

Conditions

Keywords

pelvic floor; motor imagery ability; reliability; validity

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Kinesthetic Motor Imagery of Pelvic Floor Muscle Contraction Questionnaire

  The KMI-PFQ is a 5-item scale through which women reported their ability and mental effort for imagining pelvic floor muscle contractions.The two dimensions of this instrument (ability and mental effort of the imagined contraction) were scored from zero to 5 for each item. In this imagining ability dimension, responses ranged from zero (the contraction is impossible to feel) to 5 (the imagined contraction is very easy to feel). In the mental effort dimension, the responses ranged from zero (the mental effort to perform the contraction was none to 5 (the mental effort to perform the (imagined) contraction was very intense). Considering that the items for the mental effort dimension are reversed, the maximum score that could be obtained was 25 points for each dimension, with 50 being the maximum possible for the whole questionnaire.
