研究组 & 干预措施
Mental practice
干预措施: Motor imagery (Behavioral)
Placebo group
干预措施: Placebo intervention (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
Hand grip strength
时间窗: Change from baseline and immediately post-intervention
It is a variable of gripping force measured in the unit of Newtons
Pain pressure threshold
时间窗: Change from baseline and immediately post-intervention
Pressure Pain Threshold (PPT) is one of these tests and it is defined as the minimum force applied which induces pain. The measurement shall be carried out by using an algometer (pressure device that induces mechanical stimuli) is to standardize the amount of pressure applied in the neck region. The reliability of pressure pain thresholds according to raters or measurement frequencies is relatively high
次要结局
- Visual and Kinesthetic Motor Imagery Ability(Immediately before the intervention)
- The degree of physical activity(Immediately before the intervention.)
