Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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.

Neck Laterality

It was done with 20 images of necks and 4 seconds for each image in the Vanilla program of the tablet application.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Neck Laterality

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Patients who belonged to the neck group performed the recognition of laterality with certain parameters. The execution of the recognition began with a test to familiarize themselves with the program at the "Basic" level and then followed the laterality test. It was done with 20 images and 4 seconds for each image in the "Vanilla" program

Foot Laterality

It was done with 20 images of feet and 4 seconds for each image in the Vanilla program of the tablet application.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Foot Laterality

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Patients who belonged to the foot group performed the recognition of laterality with certain parameters. The execution of the recognition began with a test to familiarize themselves with the program at the "Basic" level and then followed the laterality test. It was done with 20 images and 4 seconds for each image in the "Vanilla" program
