Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The aim of the study is to investigate the biomechanical resilience of certain parts of the body along the arm until pain occurs, which is defined as the point at which a pressure stimulus turns into a slight pain stimulus. The relevant parts of the body will be examined using a pressure algometer and a pendulum impact tester.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
- Correlation between peak pressure and onset of pain during angular contact (hard object) - Correlation between maximum contact force and onset of pain during flat contact (soft object) - Onset of pain correlates with the duration of the force impulse
