Brief Summary

To investigate the Effect of Kinesthetic and Visual Motor Imagery Training on Cervical Position Sense and Balance in Mechanical Neck Pain

Detailed Description

Thirty patients with Mechanical Neck Pain will participate in this study. The patients will randomly be divided into two equal groups; the control group which received the selected exercise program and the study group received the same exercise training program in addition to Kinesthetic and Visual Motor Imagery Training, three times per week for four weeks. The evaluation methods are cervical joint position error test, neck disability index, multidirectional reach test and visual analogue scale
