The Use of Imagery by Athletes during Injury Rehabilitation
Carla Sordoni, Craig Hall, and Lorie Forwell
Objectives:
To determine whether athletes use motivational and cognitive imagery during injury rehabilitation and to develop an instrument for measuring imagery use.
Design:
A survey concerning imagery use during rehabilitation was administered to injured athletes.
Setting:
The Fowler Kennedy Sport Medicine Clinic in London, Ontario, Canada.
Participants:
Injured athletes (N = 71) receiving physiotherapy.
Main Outcome Measure:
The Athletic Injury Imagery Questionnaire (AIIQ).
Results:
As hypothesized, 2 distinct factors emerged from the items on the AIIQ: motivational and cognitive imagery. Motivational imagery was used more often than cognitive imagery in this context, yet less frequently than in other sport situations (eg, training and competition).
Conclusions:
The study indicates that the AIIQ is a potentially useful tool through which physiotherapists and sport psychologists can examine athletes' use of imagery in injury rehabilitation.
