Is motor cortical excitability altered in people with chronic pain? A systematic review and meta-analysis
Background Chronic pain is characterised by maladaptive neuroplasticity in many systems,
including the motor system. There is evidence that patients with chronic pain demonstrate …

Evidence of distorted proprioception and postural control in studies of experimentally induced pain: a critical review of the literature
Objectives Deficits in proprioception and postural control are common in patients with
different musculoskeletal pain syndromes. It has been proposed that pain can negatively …

Experimental knee pain impairs submaximal force steadiness in isometric, eccentric, and concentric muscle actions
Introduction Populations with knee joint damage, including arthritis, have noted impairments
in the regulation of submaximal muscle force. It is difficult to determine the exact cause of …

“Taking action” to reduce pain—Has interpretation of the motor adaptation to pain been too simplistic?
Movement adapts during acute pain. This is assumed to reduce nociceptive input, but the
interpretation may not be straightforward. We investigated whether movement adaptation …
