Examination of the Reliability and Responsiveness of a Japanese Version of the Movement Imagery Questionnaire for Children: Toward Application in Children With Developmental Coordination Disorder.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveDevelopmental coordination disorder (DCD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by impaired motor coordination despite the absence of an underlying neurological condition affecting movement (e.g., cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, and degenerative disorder). Motor imagery training (MIT) has recently gained attention as a rehabilitation approach for children with DCD. Effective implementation of MIT requires accurate assessment of motor imagery (MI) abilities; however, no comprehensive evaluation tool for children exists in Japan. This study is aimed at developing a Japanese version of the Movement Imagery Questionnaire for Children (MIQ-C) and examining its reliability and responsiveness.
methodsThirty-three children (18 males and 15 females; mean age 10 ± 0.9 years) participated. Internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach's alpha. Test-retest and interrater reliability were examined using intraclass correlation coefficients. Responsiveness was evaluated by examining changes in MIQ-C scores before and after training tasks.
resultsThe Japanese version of the MIQ-C demonstrated strong internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.82). Test-retest and interrater reliability showed moderate to strong agreement. No significant changes were observed in response to specific tasks, supporting appropriate responsiveness.
conclusionsThe Japanese version of the MIQ-C is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing MI abilities in Japanese children, providing a useful tool to support the implementation of MIT in clinical and educational settings.
