Summary

The main objective of this study was to compare the activation of the Sympathetic Nervous System in a program that combined Motor Imagery with Action Observation, in contrast to an isolated Motor Imagery program on the one hand in asymptomatic subjects and in the other hand in patients with chronic low back pain.

Conditions

  • Autonomic Nervous System

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Motor Imagery

Two consecutive 30 seconds imagery tasks were performed, both based on two movements that are recorded in the Revised Movement Imagery Questionnaire (MIQ-R).

BEHAVIORAL

Action Observation

Two consecutive 30 seconds imagery tasks were performed, both based on two movements that are recorded in the Revised Movement Imagery Questionnaire (MIQ-R). Before the subjects performed the mental MI practice, they were presented with a 30 seconds video that displayed the task that they ought to imagine later. A video was played prior to the first practice of imagination and after the second mental practice, a second video was shown.
