Summary

The main objective of this research is to evaluate the influence of different distraction stimuli on neural mechano-sensitivity tests.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

median nerve mobilization

The patient is placed in a supine position and his cervical spine with 25º of lateral flexion on the opposite side of the member in which we perform the test. First a passive scapular depression is performed, 90º of shoulder abduction combining external shoulder rotation. Next, a supination of the forearm is performed with wrist extension and finger extension. Finally, the elbow is extended to the limit of resistance or when the investigator observes the elevation of the shoulder girdle.

BEHAVIORAL

Neural stress provocation with cognitive auditory distraction

Neural provocation of the median nerve is performed but an auditory distraction is added with a metronome with a constant time of 50 beats per minute.

BEHAVIORAL

Providing neural stress with a motor distraction

The neural provocation of the median nerve is performed and we add a motor distraction that consists of the patient intermittently squeezing a ball with the opposite hand.

BEHAVIORAL

Neural stress provocation with auditory and motor cognitive distraction.

The neural provocation of the median nerve is performed, we add auditory distraction with the metronome with a constant time of 50 BPM and a motor distraction consisting of squeezing a ball to the rhythm that sounds the metronome.
