The patient relaxes as a result of guided imagery, activity-specific balance confidence will be measured with the Activity-Specific Balance Confidence Scale. The scale is based on ratings of perceived balance level during different activities of daily living from 0% (no confidence) to 100% (full confidence). The total score ranges from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate greater confidence. The intervention will be evaluated 3 times. 39 patients will be measured in the touch group.

On this scale, 0 describes the absence of pain, while 10 describes the highest level of pain, which is unbearable. Higher scores indicate more pain. The intervention will be evaluated 3 times. 39 patients will be measured in the touch group.
