Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is the symptomatic expression of a muscular or an articular impairment at the manducatory tract. TMD affects between 30 to 65% of the population with a higher prevalence for young women. The patients with DTM report a decrease of their personal, social and professional quality of life. Treatment usually relies on physical therapy. Among the different technics that can be used in physical therapy, there is growing evidence advocating the efficacy of using motor imagery (i.e. imagining a movement with no concomitant physical execution) during rehabilitation. It has also been shown that the benefits of practicing motor imagery depend on the ability (i.e., the higher the ability, the greater the benefits). However, there is no investigation of the motor imagery ability of the tongue and mouth movements conditioning the use of motor imagery during TMD rehabilitation. The objective of the study is to investigate the ability of imagining tongue and mouth movements using the Tongue and Mouth Imagery Questionnaire (TMIQ) as compare to the gold-standard Kinesthetic and Visual Imagery Questionnaire (KVIQ - Malouin et al., 2007).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Principal objective:

Assess the validity construct of the Tongue and Mouth Imagery Questionnaire (TMIQ) as compare to the gold-standard Kinesthetic and Visual Imagery Questionnaire (KVIQ - Malouin et al., 2007), both measuring the motor imagery vividness.

Secondary objectives:

1. Assess the reliability of the TMIQ using a test-retest.
2. Assess the temporal coupling (i.e., the ratio between imagined and physically practiced movement) and compare these ratios for the TMIQ and KVIQ.
3. Investigate the effect of TMD by comparing the vividness scores of TMIQ for respectively subject with and with no TMD.
4. Investigate the effect of TMD by comparing the vividness scores of KVIQ for respectively subject with and with no TMD.
5. Investigate the effect of TMD by comparing the temporal coupling scores of TMIQ for respectively subject with and with no TMD.
6. Investigate the effect of TMD by comparing the temporal coupling scores of KVIQ for respectively subject with and with no TMD.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Temporomandibular disorder group (TMD)

Patients with temporomandibular disorder coming at the Cabinet Saint Alexandre for orofacial rehabilitation.

Test 1: passation of the KVIQ questionnaire, followed by the passation of the TMIQ during a rehabilitation session supervised by the physical therapist (PT) Test 2: passation of the TMIQ during the next rehabilitation session supervised by the same PT(interval between PT session 1 and 2 is a maximum of 45 days).

Questionnaires were performed during the course of the patient rehabilitation that was instructed not to perform imagined movement during the interval.

reliability and validity construct of the TMIQ

Intervention Type OTHER

comparison of the TMIQ to the gold-standard questionnaire (KVIQ) and test-retest

Control healthy group (CTL)

Healthy individuals with no temporomandibular disorder (i.e., no orofacial medical consultation or rehabilitation) aged-matched and gender-matched to TMD group.

Test 1: passation of the KVIQ questionnaire, followed by the passation of the TMIQ during a session supervised by the physical therapist (PT) Test 2: passation of the TMIQ during the next session supervised by the same PT(interval between PT session 1 and 2 is a maximum of 8 days).

Questionnaires were performed with no additional rehabilitation and participants were instructed not to perform imagined movement during the interval.
