Motor imagery (MI) is a very popular and well-accepted technique in different disciplines. Originating from sport and psychology, MI is now also used in the field of medicine and education. Several studies confirmed the benefits of MI to facilitate motor learning and skill acquisition. The findings indicated that individual's MI ability might influence the effectiveness of MI interventions. Over the last two centuries, researchers have developed several assessments to evaluate MI's abstract construct. However, no systematic reviews (SR) exist for MI ability evaluation methods and their measurement properties.
The SR will evaluate available MI ability assessments and their psychometric properties in four relevant disciplines: sports, psychology, medicine and education. This involves performing searches in SPORTDiscus, PsycINFO, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Web of Science and ERIC. Working independently, two reviewers will screen articles for selection. Then all raw information will be compiled in an overview table-including the articles' characteristics (eg, a study's setting or the population demographics) and the MI ability assessment (psychometric properties). To evaluate the articles' methodological quality, we will use the COSMIN checklist. Then we will evaluate all the included assessments' quality and perform a best-evidence synthesis. Results of this review will be reported following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.
The SR is based on published data, and ethical approval is not required. This review will provide information on assessment performance and equipment, as well as its main focus and usefulness. Furthermore, we will present the methodological quality of all the included articles and assess the included instruments' quality. Ultimately, this will act as a valuable resource, providing an overview of MI ability assessments for individual clinical settings, treatment aims, and various populations. The SR's final report will be published in a peer-reviewed journal and presented at relevant conferences.

运动想象（MI）是一种在不同学科中非常流行且被广泛接受的技术。运动想象起源于体育和心理学领域，如今也应用于医学和教育领域。多项研究证实了运动想象在促进运动学习和技能习得方面的益处。研究结果表明，个体的运动想象能力可能会影响运动想象干预的效果。在过去的两个世纪里，研究人员开发了多种评估方法来评估运动想象的抽象概念。然而，目前尚无关于运动想象能力评估方法及其测量属性的系统评价（SR）。
本系统评价将评估体育、心理学、医学和教育这四个相关学科中现有的运动想象能力评估方法及其心理测量属性。这包括在SPORTDiscus、PsycINFO、Cochrane图书馆、Scopus、科学引文索引和教育资源信息中心进行检索。两名评审员将独立筛选文章以进行选择。然后，所有原始信息将汇总在一个概述表中，包括文章的特征（如研究背景或人群特征）和运动想象能力评估（心理测量属性）。为了评估文章的方法学质量，我们将使用COSMIN清单。然后，我们将评估所有纳入评估的质量并进行最佳证据综合。本综述的结果将按照系统评价和Meta分析的首选报告项目（PRISMA）指南进行报告。
本系统评价基于已发表的数据，无需伦理批准。本综述将提供有关评估性能和设备的信息，以及其主要重点和实用性。此外，我们将展示所有纳入文章的方法学质量，并评估纳入工具的质量。最终，这将成为一份有价值的资源，为个体临床环境、治疗目标和不同人群提供运动想象能力评估的概述。本系统评价的最终报告将发表在同行评审期刊上，并在相关会议上展示。
