Brief Summary

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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Response time

  Changes in the time response. Time response is defined as the time between the image appearance and the subject response.

  Immediately post-intervention

• Accuracy

  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.

  Immediately post-intervention

• Joint Position Error

  Changes in the joint position error at the end of the intervention. It is measured on centimeters.

  Immediately post-intervention

• Cervical Active Range of Motion

  Changes the cervical active range of motion at the end of the intervention. It is measured on centimeters.

Study Arms (2)

Neck Laterality

EXPERIMENTAL

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

Behavioral: Neck Laterality

Foot Laterality

EXPERIMENTAL

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

Behavioral: Foot Laterality

Interventions

Neck Laterality 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

Neck Laterality

Foot Laterality 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
