To investigate the Effect of Kinesthetic and Visual Motor Imagery Training on Cervical Position Sense and Balance in Mechanical Neck Pain
Thirty patients with Mechanical Neck Pain will participate in this study. The patients will randomly be divided into two equal groups; the control group which received the selected exercise program and the study group received the same exercise training program in addition to Kinesthetic and Visual Motor Imagery Training, three times per week for four weeks. The evaluation methods are cervical joint position error test, neck disability index, multidirectional reach test and visual analogue scale

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| cervical joint position error test | The subject will be instructed to perform an active head rotation to one side, after which returns back to the neutral or starting head position. The test will be performed in a 3 trials in each direction | four weeks |
| Neck disability index | includes 10 items as follows: Pain Intensity, Personal Care, Lifting, Reading, Headaches, Concentration, Work, Driving, Sleeping, and Recreation, with a score (0:5) for every point. The maximum score is 50, with the interpretation scoring (no disability = 0: 4, mild disability 5:14, moderate disability 15:24, severe disability 25: 34 and complete disability above 34 | four weeks |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Visual analogue scale for pain (VAS-P) | is a method for measuring the intensity of pain on a horizontal straight line of fixed length (10 cm), as the left end of the line showed the greatest pain score & the right end showed the least pain scores, then the patient was asked to put a mark, on the line according to his/her pain sensation, with a higher score representing the higher level of pain | four weeks |

| Kinesthetic and Visual Motor Imagery Training | Other | Kinesthetic and Visual Motor Imagery Training During kinesthetic imagery, the participants were asked to feel their body parts without any body motion. During visual imagery, the participants were asked to perform a visual presentation of the motion without any body motion. |
|
| multidirectional reach test | The Multi-Directional Reach Test (MDRT) measures balance and the limits of stability in the anterior-posterior and medial-lateral directions by testing how far an individual can voluntarily reach forward, to the right, to the left, and lean backward, while standing with their feet flat on the ground, shoulder-width apart | four weeks |
