Brief Summary

The purpose of this study was to compare the motor imagery ability of individuals with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) with those without COPD.

Conditions

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD); Mental Imagery

Keywords

mental imagery; Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Kinesthetic and Visual Motor Imagery Questionnaire-20 (KVIQ-20)

  Developed to assess imagery ability, the questionnaire aims to determine the extent to which individuals visualize and feel the movements they imagine. The KVIQ-20 consists of 10 visual and 10 kinesthetic items that assess head, shoulders, trunk, upper extremity, and lower extremity movements. All 10 movements are performed in a sitting position. The KVIQ uses a 5-point scale to rate the clarity of imagery (Visual subscale) and the intensity of sensations (Kinesthetic subscale); a score of 5 corresponds to the highest level of imagery and a score of 1 corresponds to the lowest level of imagery. During the test, bilateral assessments are performed. A validity and reliability study for the Turkish version was conducted by Dilek and colleagues. Individuals will be instructed to use a first-person perspective during the MI.
