“…There is a large amount of literature on these tasks as they relate to limb movements (see Parsons 12 for review), and that work has been extended to clinical populations. [13][14][15][16][17][18][19] Because the back acts as a single, inseparable, functioning unit, it is not as easily categorized as belonging to the left or right side of the body. Therefore, left/right trunk judgment tasks have been modified so that the posture is described as a deviation from neutral.…”

Trunk motor imagery performance is reduced in people with a history of back pain when they are in a current episode. This is consistent with disruption of cortical proprioceptive representation of the trunk in this group. On the basis of this result, we propose a conceptual model speculating a role of this measure in understanding the development of chronic back pain, a model that can be tested in future studies.

“…While Bowering and colleagues (2014) reported no significant impact of age on a trunk laterality task, several other studies have found impaired laterality judgment performance related to older age (Saimpont et al, 2009;Stanton et al, 2012;Wallwork et al, 2013).…”

“…40 Several clinical studies have described deficits in laterality recognition in the following pain symptoms: chronic hand pain, chronic low back pain, neck pain, chronic tension headache, or foot/leg pain after amputations. 2,5,7,41,42 Based on this evidence, it can be assumed that the neural networks in the premotor cortex, which are necessary for a physiological body schema and for a good function of a body part, are altered. 2 It is conceivable that neurons of the sensomotoric homunculus representing the part of the face will be sensitized and uninhibited by facial pain.…”

Chronic facial pain has many of the clinical characteristics found in other persistent musculoskeletal conditions, such as low back and cervical pain syndromes. Unique to this condition, however, is that painful facial movements may result in rigidity or altered ability to demonstrate mimicry, defined as the natural tendency to adopt the behavioral expressions of other persons involved in the interaction. Loss of ability to communicate through emotional expression can lead to impaired processing of emotions and ultimately social isolation. Diminished quality and quantity of facial expression is associated with chronic face pain, tempromandibular dysfunction, facial asymmetries, and neurological disorders. This report provides a framework for assessment of impaired emotional processing and associated somatosensory alterations. Principles for management for chronic facial pain should include graded motor imagery, in addition to standard treatments of manual therapy, exercise, and patient education. A case study is provided which illustrates these principles.
