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).
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:
621 studies on the registry are indexed under Temporomandibular Joint Disorders; 161 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 94 is close to the median of 90 across 171 observational studies indexed under Temporomandibular Joint Disorders.

For DTM group participants
Exclusion Criteria:
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.
Other: reliability and validity construct of the TMIQ
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.
Other: reliability and validity construct of the TMIQ

Ran from Sep 2018 to primary completion in Dec 2019, 15 months.
Of 60 observational studies under Temporomandibular Joint Disorders, half reached primary completion within 13 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 30. This study's 15 months is above that.
