Turkish Version of the Kinesthetic and Visual Imagery Questionnaire

Reliability and Validity of the Turkish Version of the Kinesthetic and Visual Imagery Questionnaire

Imagery is determined with two strategies to mentally simulate the movements: visual and kinesthetic imagery. Visual motor imagery (VMI) is associated with spatial coordinates of a movement in the environment and through this speciality VMI applies mainly to the imagery of moving objects or to movement of another person in the imagined environment, although imagine of own movement is also possible. Kinesthetic motor imagery depends on dynamic relationship among the individual, the movement and the environment and it should be determined by the nature of the task, the environment and individual characteristics and also requires "feel" the movement.

The aim of this study is to translate this questionnaire into Turkish and the translation in terms of its internal consistency, test-retest reliability.
