          Abstract

          ABSTRACT Motor imagery has emerged as a potential rehabilitation tool in stroke. The goals of this study were: 1) to develop a translated and culturally-adapted Brazilian-Portugese version of the Kinesthetic and Visual Motor Imagery Questionnaire (KVIQ20-P); 2) to evaluate the psychometric characteristics of the scale in a group of patients with stroke and in an age-matched control group; 3) to compare the KVIQ20 performance between the two groups. Methods Test-retest, inter-rater reliabilities, and internal consistencies were evaluated in 40 patients with stroke and 31 healthy participants. Results In the stroke group, ICC confidence intervals showed excellent test-retest and inter-rater reliabilities. Cronbach’s alpha also indicated excellent internal consistency. Results for controls were comparable to those obtained in persons with stroke. Conclusions The excellent psychometric properties of the KVIQ20-P should be considered during the design of studies of motor imagery interventions for stroke rehabilitation.

          RESUMO A Imagética Mental é uma ferramenta em potencial para a reabilitação de indivíduos com doenças cerebrovasculares. Os objetivos desse estudo foram: 1) Desenvolver uma versão traduzida e adaptada culturalmente do Questionário de Imagética Motora Cinestésica e Visual (KVIQ20-P); 2) Avaliar as características psicométricas da escala nesse grupo e em controles; 3) Comparar o desempenho na escala entre os dois grupos. Métodos Confiabilidades teste-reteste, interexaminador, assim como consistências internas da KVIQ20-P foram avaliadas em 40 indivíduos com AVC e em 31 controles. Resultados No grupo de pacientes, os intervalos de confiança mostraram excelentes confiabilidades teste-reteste e interexaminador. O alfa de Cronbach indicou uma excelente consistência interna. Os resultados no grupo controle foram comparáveis aos obtidos nos pacientes. Conclusões As excelentes propriedades psicométricas da KVIQ20-P devem ser consideradas durante o desenho de estudos de Imagética Mental para a reabilitação de indivíduos com doenças cerebrovasculares.

          Translation of scales in cross-cultural research: issues and techniques.

          This paper is a report of a study designed to: (i) describe issues and techniques of translation of standard measures for use in international research; (ii) identify a user-friendly and valid translation method when researchers have limited resources during translation procedure; and (iii) discuss translation issues using data from a pilot study as an example. The process of translation is an important part of cross-cultural studies. Cross-cultural researchers are often confronted by the need to translate scales from one language to another and to do this with limited resources. The lessons learned from our experience in a pilot study are presented to underline the importance of using appropriate translation procedures. The issues of the back-translation method are discussed to identify strategies to ensure success when translating measures. A combined technique is an appropriate method to maintain the content equivalences between the original and translated instruments in international research. There are several possible combinations of translation techniques. However, there is no gold standard of translation techniques because the research environment (e.g. accessibility and availability of bilingual people) and the research questions are different. It is important to use appropriate translation procedures and to employ a combined translation technique based on the research environment and questions.

            Predicting the probability for falls in community-dwelling older adults.

            The objective of this retrospective case-control study was to develop a model for predicting the likelihood of falls among community-dwelling older adults. Forty-four community-dwelling adults (> or = 65 years of age) with and without a history of falls participated. Subjects completed a health status questionnaire and underwent a clinical evaluation of balance and mobility function. Variables that differed between fallers and nonfallers were identified, using t tests and cross tabulation with chi-square tests. A forward stepwise regression analysis was carried out to identify a combination of variables that effectively predicted fall status. Five variables were found to be associated with fall history. These variables were analyzed using logistic regression. The final model combined the score on the Berg Balance Scale with a self-reported history of imbalance to predict fall risk. Sensitivity was 91%, and specificity was 82%. A simple predictive model based on two risk factors can be used by physical therapists to quantify fall risk in community-dwelling older adults. Identification of patients with a high fall risk can lead to an appropriate referral into a fall prevention program. In addition, fall risk can be used to calculate change resulting from intervention.

              Motor planning, imagery, and execution in the distributed motor network: a time-course study with functional MRI.

              Activation of motor-related areas has consistently been found during various motor imagery tasks and is regarded as the central mechanism generating motor imagery. However, the extent to which motor execution and imagery share neural substrates remains controversial. We examined brain activity during preparation for and execution of physical or mental finger tapping. During a functional magnetic resonance imaging at 3 T, 13 healthy volunteers performed an instructed delay finger-tapping task either in a physical mode or mental mode. Number stimuli instructed subjects about a finger-tapping sequence. After an instructed delay period, cue stimuli prompted them either to execute the tapping movement or to imagine it. Two types of planning/preparatory activity common for movement and imagery were found: instruction stimulus-related activity represented widely in multiple motor-related areas and delay period activity in the medial frontal areas. Although brain activity during movement execution and imagery was largely shared in the distributed motor network, imagery-related activity was in general more closely related to instruction-related activity than to the motor execution-related activity. Specifically, activity in the medial superior frontal gyrus, anterior cingulate cortex, precentral sulcus, supramarginal gyrus, fusiform gyrus, and posterolateral cerebellum likely reflects willed generation of virtual motor commands and analysis of virtual sensory signals.
