简要总结
Chronic neck pain is one of the most common causes of pain, affecting 15% of the adult population, and the fourth leading cause of disability. The recognition of laterality is the ability to recognize a part of the body that belongs to the left or right which is used as a tool to create a normal process of motor planning.
详细描述
The most consistent data come from the investigation of the primary motor cortex, in which the cortical representations of the altered body part are affected when there is chronic pain. Occasionally, the primary motor cortex is smaller on the affected side than on the contralateral side.
Recognition of the body schema is altered in the presence of painful disorders. The most common way of assessing the body schema is by motor imagery through the laterality discrimination of the left and right.

结局指标
主要结局
Accuracy
时间窗: Immediately post-intervention
Changes in the accuracy at the end of the intervention. Accuracy must be taken as the precision of the response when a subject say wether the image is right or left. It is measured by percentage of success.
Cervical Active Range of Motion
时间窗: immediately post-intervention
Changes the cervical active range of motion at the end of the intervention. It is measured on centimeters.
Response time
时间窗: Immediately post-intervention
Changes in the time response. Time response is defined as the time between the image appearance and the subject response.
Joint Position Error
时间窗: Immediately post-intervention
Changes in the joint position error at the end of the intervention. It is measured on centimeters.
