Brief summary
The main objective of this research is to see the effect of two mental practice techniques on static and dynamic balance.
Interventions
BEHAVIORALMotor Imagery
Motor imagery group will have to imagine motor gestures of static and dynamic balance
BEHAVIORALAction observation
Action observation group will have to observe static and dynamic equilibrium motor gestures
BEHAVIORALPlacebo group
This group will watch a video of nature without a human component.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Posturography | Change in immediately at the end of the intervention. | The device is a robotic device that evaluates motor function and consists of wirelessly sensed electromechanical platforms. This allows the evaluation of static and dynamic balance. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Visual and Kinesthetic Motor Imagery Ability | Immediately before the intervention | The degree of physical activity was objectified through the The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) questionnaire, which allows the subjects to be divided into three groups according to their level of activity, which can be high, moderate, and low or inactive. The IPAQ consists of 7 questions about the frequency, duration and intensity of activity (moderate and intense) performed in the last seven days, as well as walking and sitting time on a workday. The IPAQ scoring protocol assigns the following MET values to walking, moderate, and vigorous intensity activity: 3.3 METs, 4.0 METs, and 8.0 METs, respectively. |
