Each patient will be instructed to carefully observe the finalized movement of the upper limb of an experimenter seated in front (the experimenter's left hand is right in front of the patient's right hand), without moving or imagining the movement.
Each patient will be instructed to look at a computer screen that is in front of him that will show a daily routine task (actions).
Each patient will be instructed to carefully observe the finalized movement performed by an experimenter standing in front of him (the examiner's left leg will be in front of the patient's right leg).
Each patient will be instructed to look at a computer screen that is in front of him that will show a daily routine task (actions).
Participants will be shown for 3 minutes 5 static images that expose objects, none will represent animals or people. The participant's attention will be kept high through a cognitive task. For each CGail patient condition a sequence of images will be presented for 3 minutes, the images will be displayed separately, each for 30 seconds, and then during the last 30 seconds, will be displayed together with an intrusive image (intruder) that the patient will be asked to identify so that his attention span can be controlled in real time. Participants will then be invited to perform movements of the limbs as far as possible for 2 minutes according to a standard sequence that involves articular mobilizations of upper limbs and simulates that performed by the experimental groups.

Participants will then be invited to perform movements of the limbs as far as possible for 2 minutes according to a standard sequence that involves articular mobilizations of lower limbs and simulates that performed by the experimental groups.
