  1. Numbers in the columns represent the amount of patients, who chose a perspective (out of a total of 55 patients) during visual (Vis) and kinaesthetic (Kin) imagery
  2. In the column of an altered perspective the second row represents 75% of the movements in the movement group and amount of patients, who used an internal perspective at least in 75% of the movements
  3. KVIQ-20 Kinaesthetic and visual imagery questionnaire-20, n Total number of patients
