PPT, pressure pain thresholds; HPT, heat pain thresholds; MIQ-R, Movement Imagery Questionnaire Revised; TUG, Timed Up and Go test; STAI, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. The values of Spearman’s correlation coefficients are shown. There was no significant correlation between changes in pain and variables (p > 0.05).
