Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Motor Imagery	Motor Imagery	-
Action Observation	Action observation	-
Placebo group	Placebo group	-

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Posturography	Change in immediately at the end of the intervention.	The device is a robotic device that evaluates motor function and consists of wirelessly sensed electromechanical platforms. This allows the evaluation of static and dynamic balance.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The degree of physical activity	Immediately before the intervention	The degree of physical activity was objectified through the The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) questionnaire, which allows the subjects to be divided into three groups according to their level of activity, which can be high, moderate, and low or inactive. The IPAQ consists of 7 questions about the frequency, duration and intensity of activity (moderate and intense) performed in the last seven days, as well as walking and sitting time on a workday. The IPAQ scoring protocol assigns the following MET values to walking, moderate, and vigorous intensity activity: 3.3 METs, 4.0 METs, and 8.0 METs, respectively.
