“…Three studies (Morone et al, 2012;Paolucci et al, 2012;Vetrano et al, 2013) adopted the "SuPeR" (Surface for Perceptive Rehabilitation tool) and other two used a gradual perceptual retraining program (Wand et al, 2011;Ryan et al, 2014); all studies enrolled CLBP patients. The SuPeR treatment provided the adoption of postures and the execution of active exercises while lying supine on a table with a series of deformable latex cones of different hardness having the goal of stimulating the trunk skin surface: patients were asked to count and localize tactile stimuli, or to discriminate the hardness of cones.…”

“…Wand et al (2011) described three cases of patients with CLBP treated with a mixed treatment comprising education, graded perceptual training (localization and graphesthesia tasks) and graded motor retraining for a minimum of 10 weeks: pain decreased at the end of treatment and after 1 month (2.9 and 3.9 on 11-NRS), as well as disability (5.2-9.6 on the Roland and Morris Disability Questionnaire-RMDQ), with statistical significance (p < 0.001). Finally, Ryan et al (2014) adopted in a pilot-randomized trial controlled with a placebo group, the graded perceptual retraining protocol described by Wand et al (2011), in adjunct to usual physiotherapy cares. Pain and disability improved after treatment in experimental group (−8 on 101-VAS and −1.6 on RMDQ), but without statistical significance (p>0.05), respect to placebo group (−33.2 on 101-VAS and −4 on RMDQ; p < 0.0).…”

Background: Pain and body perception are essentially two subjective mutually influencing experiences. However, in the field of musculoskeletal disorders and rheumatic diseases we lack of a comprehensive knowledge about the relationship between body perception dysfunctions and pain or disability. We systematically mapped the literature published about the topics of: (a) somatoperception; (b) body ownership; and (c) perception of space, analysing the relationship with pain and disability. The results were organized around the two main topics of the assessment and treatment of perceptual dysfunctions.Methods: This scoping review followed the six-stage methodology suggested by Arksey and O'Malley. Ten electronic databases and grey literature were systematically searched. The PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews was used for reporting results. Two reviewers with different background, independently performed study screening and selection, and one author performed data extraction, that was checked by a second reviewer.Results: Thirty-seven studies fulfilled the eligibility criteria. The majority of studies (68%) concerned the assessment methodology, and the remaining 32% investigated the effects of therapeutic interventions. Research designs, methodologies adopted, and settings varied considerably across studies. Evidence of distorted body experience were found mainly for explicit somatoperception, especially in studies adopting self-administered questionnaire and subjective measures, highlighting in some cases the presence of sub-groups with different perceptual features. Almost half of the intervention studies (42%) provided therapeutic approaches combining more than one perceptual task, or sensory-motor tasks together with perceptual strategies, thus it was difficult to estimate the relative effectiveness of each single therapeutic component.Viceconti et al. Body Perception in Musculoskeletal DisordersConclusions: To our knowledge, this is the first attempt to systematically map and summarize this research area in the field of musculoskeletal disorders and rheumatic diseases. Although methodological limitations limit the validity of the evidence obtained, some strategies of assessment tested and therapeutic strategies proposed represent useful starting points for future research. This review highlights preliminary evidence, strengths, and limitations of the literature published about the research questions, identifying key points that remain opened to be addressed, and make suggestions for future research studies. Body representation, as well as pain perception and treatment, can be better understood if an enlarged perspective including body and space perception is considered.
