Overview
Brief Summary
Motor imagery is defined as a dynamic mental process of an action, without its real motor execution. Action observation evokes an internal, real-time motor simulation of the movements that the observer is perceiving visually. Both MI and AO have been shown to produce a neurophysiological activation of the brain areas related to the planning and execution of voluntary movement in a similar manner how the real action.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •The inclusion criteria were as follows:
- •asymptomatic participants
- •men and women aged 18 to 65 years.
Exclusion Criteria
- •The exclusion criteria included the following:
- •participants who had any knowledge of Physical Therapy or Occupational Therapy
- •underage participants
- •participants with any symptomatology in the lumbo-pelvic region at the time of the study -participants with lumbo-pelvic pain in at least the prior six months

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Changes in the Left Lumbo-pelvic motor control
Time Frame: 1 week and 3 weeks
Lumbar motor control will be measured by a pressure biofeedback called Stabilizer TM. The measurement protocol in the following procedure; The patient should be supine position with the Stabilizer TM placed in the lumbar region with an initial pressure of 70 mmHg. Then, the patient will be asked to flex the hip and knee at 90 ° with one leg and then with the opposite one. It is a validated and reliable protocol for motor control of the lumbar region
Changes in the Right Lumbo-pelvic motor control
Time Frame: 1 week and 3 weeks
Lumbar motor control will be measured by a pressure biofeedback called Stabilizer TM. The measurement protocol in the following procedure; The patient should be supine position with the Stabilizer TM placed in the lumbar region with an initial pressure of 70 mmHg. Then, the patient will be asked to flex the hip and knee at 90 ° with one leg and then with the opposite one. It is a validated and reliable protocol for motor control of the lumbar region
Secondary Outcomes
- Perceived fatigue: changes in the Visual Analogue Scale-fatigue mid-intervention(1 week and 3 weeks.)
- Changes in the trunk muscles strength(1 week and 3 weeks.)
