Brief summary
1. Validation of translated Motor Imagery ability questionnaire MIQ-RS 2. Investigating the Motor Imagery ability in patients with traumatic brain injury
Detailed description
1. Translation of the MIQ-RS following the WHO guidelines. Followed by a validation of this translated questionnaire in patients with traumatic brain injury and in healthy volunteers. 2. Investigating the motor imagery ability using 3 different test * MIQ-RS (movement imagery questionnaire) * TDMI (time dependent motor imagery) * mental chronometry test Patients and controls will perform all 3 test twice with an interval of 2 weeks to measure the test-retest reliability.
Interventions
Participants will perform 3 different tests to measure the motor imagery ability
