Brief Summary

Mental practice (both in isolation and also in combination with real practice) has been shown to improve somatosensory and motor variables but so far no study has taken it into the study of women's health. Through this study we want to offer some interesting data regarding the effectiveness of mental practice combined with physical practice.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Pelvic Floor Muscle Strength

    maximum pelvic floor strength

    pre-intervention (T0), and inmmediate post-intervention (T1) (between the first and the second measurement, about 60 minutes have elapsed because it is done on the same day).

  • Pain Pressure Threshold

    Pain sensitivity

    pre-intervention (T0), and inmmediate post-intervention (T1) (between the first and the second measurement, about 60 minutes have elapsed because it is done on the same day).

  • Lumbopelvic Motor Control

    Sensorimotor control of lower limbs

    pre-intervention (T0), and inmmediate post-intervention (T1) (between the first and the second measurement, about 60 minutes have elapsed because it is done on the same day).

Study Arms (3)

Therapeutic exercise plus motor imagery

EXPERIMENTAL

This group will perform a therapeutic exercise programme (aerobic and strength training) to which motor imagery training will be added.

Behavioral: Motor Imagery plus therapeutic exercise

Therapeutic exercise plus action observation

EXPERIMENTAL

This group will perform a therapeutic exercise programme (aerobic and strength training) to which action observation training will be added.

Behavioral: Action observation plus therapeutic exercise

Therapeutic exercise

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

This group will perform a therapeutic exercise programme (aerobic and strength training) to which sham action observation training will be added.

Behavioral: Sham action observation plus therapeutic exercise

Interventions

Motor Imagery plus therapeutic exerciseBEHAVIORAL

Aerobic exercise (20 minutes) and strengthening exercise (15 minutes) to which will be added a motor imagery intervention (imagining movements without actually doing them).
