“…They had no metal or electronic implants, and no history of neurological or orthopedic disorders. Imagery ability scores as determined by the Vividness of Motor Imagery Questionnaire (Isaac et al, 1986) ranged from 26 to 89 for first person imagery (51 ± 4), and from 27 to 80 for third person imagery (56 ± 4), which is comparable to the scores found recently in a very large group of young healthy subjects (Mulder et al, 2007). All subjects participated in two experiments, first assessing imagery of foot dorsiflexion, and next assessing imagery of gait.…”

“…The Vividness of Motor Imagery Questionnaire-2 (VMIQ-Second Version) [55,56] is a measure of an individual's capacity to imagine actions. In the present study, it was administered in the version adapted for spinal cord injured people [29] only at T0 with the aim of identifying potential correlations between the patient's imagery capacity and any effects of the interventions carried out.…”

Cognitive Training Improves Disconnected Limbs’ Mental Representation and Peripersonal Space after Spinal Cord Injury

Paraplegia following spinal cord injury (SCI) affects the mental representation and peripersonal space of the paralysed body parts (i.e., lower limbs). Physical rehabilitation programs can improve these aspects, but the benefits are mostly partial and short-lasting. These limits could be due to the absence of trainings focused on SCI-induced cognitive deficits combined with traditional physical rehabilitation. To test this hypothesis, we assessed in 15 SCI-individuals the effects of adding cognitive recovery protocols (motor imagery–MI) to standard physical rehabilitation programs (Motor+MI training) on mental body representations and space representations, with respect to physical rehabilitation alone (control training). Each training comprised at least eight sessions administered over two weeks. The status of participants' mental body representation and peripersonal space was assessed at three time points: before the training (T0), after the training (T1), and in a follow-up assessment one month later (T2). The Motor+MI training induced short-term recovery of peripersonal space that however did not persist at T2. Body representation showed a slower neuroplastic recovery at T2, without differences between Motor and the Motor+MI. These results show that body and space representations are plastic after lesions, and open new rehabilitation perspectives.

“…First, among the most popular and psychometrically impressive tests of imagery skills in athletes are the Vividness of Movement Imagery Questionnaire (VMIQ) (Isaac et al, 1986) and the revised version of the Movement Imagery Questionnaire (MIQ-R) (Hall and Martin, 1997). The VMIQ is a 24-item measure of 'visual imagery of movement itself and imagery of kinaesthetic sensations' (Isaac et al, 1986, p. 24).…”

To begin at the beginning, what do we mean by the term 'sport and exercise psychology'? Sounds straightforward but the term can mean many different things to different people. To a coach or athlete it may refer to the actions of a 'Mr Motivator' who is brought in to help the team or individual 'psych up' for an important game. To a sport scientist it may describe that branch of the discipline that focuses on the brain and central nervous system and their influence on sports' performance. To a health psychologist it may be defined as the psychology of physical activity in general. To a clinical psychologist it may mean particular therapeutic interventions associated with physical activity. To a sport and exercise psychologist the term may describe a subdiscipline of psychology that applies psychological theories and methods to an understanding of physical exercise in general and competitive sport in particular. Each working definition is appropriate for its own target audience. Some focus on practical application, some highlight professional concerns while others consider the subdiscipline in its entirety. At the very least the diversity of interpretations should immediately alert us to an appreciation of the disparate sources of influence and the broad church which is now known as sport and exercise psychology (Feltz and Kontos, 2002).A related question which then springs to mind is who is it for? Again, the answer you find will depend entirely on who you ask. According to some, its primary audience should be those who actually take part in sport. To others, sport and exercise psychology should feed the disciplines and professions associated with sport and exercise science or perhaps applied psychology. Others would argue it should not be 'for' anyone in particular but should aim to advance scientific knowledge as a noble end in itself. Once more, there is no simple answer to the question posed but to restrict ownership to any single constituency is not likely to help the subdiscipline develop. Instead there may be a need to adopt a more flexible and pragmatic approach, arguing that work, whether applied or academic, can be tailored to meet the needs of a variety of potential users both inside and outside the world of sport.As to where this enterprise first began, it is often said that there is nothing
