Summary

Attentional focus is a concept of motor learning and the usage of this concept promotes exercise-induced muscular adaptations and affects motor performances. In practice,two main verbal instructions are directing the focus of attention; external focus (EFA) and internal focus of attention (IFA). Several studies show the results related with different health conditions. However, there is not enough studies to investigate the effectiveness of these attentional focus strategies in exercise regimes in patients with musculoskeletal problem. Thus, the study will be the first to investigate the effectiveness of attentional focus strategies in patients with neck and upper back myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) which is the most common syndrome of musculoskeletal problems.

Conditions

  • Myofascial Pain Syndrome

Interventions

OTHER

Exercise

Both groups will receive the same exercise program that includes strengthening and stretching exercises except for the verbal instructions which shift attention to the internal or external environment or no attentional instructions for the control group.
