Brief Summary

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

Conditions

Mechanical Neck Pain

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• cervical joint position error test

  The subject will be instructed to perform an active head rotation to one side, after which returns back to the neutral or starting head position. The test will be performed in a 3 trials in each direction

  four weeks

• Neck disability index

  includes 10 items as follows: Pain Intensity, Personal Care, Lifting, Reading, Headaches, Concentration, Work, Driving, Sleeping, and Recreation, with a score (0:5) for every point. The maximum score is 50, with the interpretation scoring (no disability = 0: 4, mild disability 5:14, moderate disability 15:24, severe disability 25: 34 and complete disability above 34

  four weeks

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Visual analogue scale for pain (VAS-P)

  four weeks

• multidirectional reach test

  four weeks
