Imagery Ability in Obstetric Brachial Plexus Palsy

September 27, 2023 updated by: Nursena Şengün, Istanbul Medipol University Hospital

Assessment of Imagery Ability in Children With Obstetric Brachial Plexus Palsy

Obstetric brachial plexus palsy (OBPP) is the paralysis of the ipsilateral upper extremity after a brachial plexus injury that occurs during labor. Imagery is to rehearse sensorial experiences in the mind such as auditory, visual, tactile, olfactory, gustatory or kinesthetic sensation. Imagery is used as a new technique in rehabilitation recently. Various studies have reported the importance of imagery and using imagery as a rehabilitation technique in different neurologic and orthopedic conditions. This study aimed to evaluate imagery ability in children with OBPP.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Movement Imagery Questionnaire-3
Time Frame: 2 weeks
Movement Imagery Questionnaire-3 is a 12-item questionnaire to assess an individual's ability to achieve specific four movements using internal visual imagery, external visual imagery, and kinesthetic imagery.
2 weeks
Kinesthetic and Visual Imagery Questionnaire-20
Time Frame: 2 weeks
Kinesthetic and Visual Imagery Questionnaire-20 assess an individual's ability to visualize and feel imagined movements.
2 weeks
Active Movement Scale
Time Frame: 1 week
Active Movement Scale evaluates 15 joint movements in the upper extremity against gravity and gravity-eliminated positions. Each movement is given a score between 0-7: 0 means no contraction, 7 means full range of motion.
1 week
Narakas's Sensory Grading System
Time Frame: 1 week
Narakas's Sensory Grading System evaluates the response to painful stimuli in the upper extremity with 0-3-point scale: 0 indicates no reaction, 3 indicates a normal reaction.
1 week
