Sponsored by Istanbul Medipol University Hospital · Observational
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.
750 studies on the registry are indexed under Paralysis; 133 are open to participants now.

Exclusion Criteria:
Behavioral: Assessment of imagery ability
Behavioral: Assessment of imagery ability
Movement imagery, kinesthetic imagery, and visual imagery ability assessed.
Movement Imagery Questionnaire-3
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.
Time frame: 2 weeks
Kinesthetic and Visual Imagery Questionnaire-20
Kinesthetic and Visual Imagery Questionnaire-20 assess an individual's ability to visualize and feel imagined movements.
Time frame: 2 weeks
Active Movement Scale
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.
Time frame: 1 week
Narakas's Sensory Grading System
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.
Time frame: 1 week
