Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It's expected that all variables in both groups will be improved, but it will be more significant in the Intervention Group, after the application of Pain Neuroscience Education. Presentation of expected outcome: Kinesiophobia Presentation of the method used to verify the outcome: Kinesiophobia TAMPA scale Presentation of the parameters: it is expected a reduction of the score in the post-intervention evaluation when compared to the pre-intervention. There is no clinically important minimal difference established for this scale. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Presentation of expected outcome: Intensity of pain Presentation of the method used to verify the outcome: Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Numerical Pain Scale. Presentation of the parameters: it is expected a decrease of 2 points in the post-intervention evaluation when compared to the pre-intervention in both scales.;Presentation of expected outcome: Mobility and functional balance Presentation of the method used to verify the outcome: Timed Up and Go (TUG) Presentation of the parameters: it is expected a reduction of the time of execution of the test in the post-intervention evaluation when compared to the pre-intervention. There is no clinically important minimal difference established for this test.;Presentation of expected outcome: functional capacity and physical performance Presentation of the method used to verify the outcome: Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) Presentation of the parameters: it is expected an improvement in the total score of the test in the post intervention evaluation when compared to the pre intervention. There is no clinically important minimal difference established for this test.;Presentation of expected outcome: Flexibility of the back of the trunk and lower limb muscles Presentation of the method used to verify the outcome: flexibility in the Wells Bank Presentation of the parameters: it is only expected an improvement of the flexibility measured in centimeters in the post intervention evaluation when compared to the pre intervention. There is no clinically important minimal difference established for this test.;Presentation of expected outcome: muscular electrical activity of the trunk muscles Presentation of the method used to evaluate the outcome: surface electromyography Presentation of the parameters: it is expected an improvement in muscle recruitment (more coordinated recruitment) of the trunk muscles in the activities of reaching and rising in the post-intervention evaluation when compared to the pre-interv | — |
