Abstract

Abstract This exploratory study investigated effects of a mental practice (MP) intervention on imagery vividness and perspective maintenance in post-stroke subjects. Additionally, the relationship between internal and external imagery vividness and kinesthetic imagery was examined. Data were drawn from 17 persons participating in a RCT investigating the effects of perspective use during MP on post-stroke recovery. The Vividness of Movement Imagery Questionnaire-2 (VMIQ-2) and a self-report perspective rating scale were used to examine changes in vividness and perspective maintenance, respectively. Findings indicate improvements in vividness were most evident in those with the weakest initial ability. Perspective maintenance improved significantly from the first score to the last for all groups. Visual imagery vividness was strongly related to kinesthetic imagery regardless of imagery perspective. Preliminary findings suggest certain aspects of imagery ability can be improved with practice post-stroke.

心理练习是可改变的:中风后视角维持和生动性的变化

摘要本研究旨在探讨心理练习(MP)干预对脑卒中后受试者图像生动性和视角维持的影响。此外，我们还研究了内外意象生动度与动觉意象之间的关系。数据来自17名参与者，他们参与了一项随机对照试验，调查MP期间透视使用对卒中后恢复的影响。采用运动意象生动度问卷-2 (VMIQ-2)和自述视角评定量表分别检测运动意象生动度和视角维持的变化。研究结果表明，生动性的提高在那些初始能力最弱的人身上最为明显。从第一个分数到最后一个分数，所有组的视角维护都得到了显著改善。视觉意象的生动性与动觉意象密切相关，与意象视角无关。初步研究结果表明，中风后的练习可以提高某些方面的想象能力。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Imagery Research in Sport and Physical Activity is the first peer-reviewed journal devoted to research on the role of imagery in sport, physical activity, exercise, and rehabilitation settings. Imagery, also referred to as cognitive enactment or visualization, is one of the most popular performance enhancement and rehabilitation techniques in sports and physical activity. Journal editors Craig Hall (University of Western Ontario) and Sandra Short (University of North Dakota) are recognized leaders in the field, and the journal’s editorial board represents leading institutions in the U.S., U.K., and Canada. The single destination for all imagery-related research in sports and in physical activity, the Journal of Imagery Research in Sport and Physical Activity is an indispensable tool for scholars and practitioners of imagery, sports science, kinesiology, physical education, and psychology Criteria for publication will include: - Outstanding quality; likely to be widely read and highly cited; - Relevance to the area; - Contribution to the advancement of imagery research; - Interest to specialists in the field and accessible to researchers with interests outside the immediate topic of the paper; - Readability and presentation.
