A Review on Experimental Assessments of Pain Threshold in Healthy Human Subjects
A B S T R A C T There are three types of nerve fibers that are involved in the transmission of pain stimuli: C fibers (slower fibers) for thermal, mechanical and chemical stimuli, A-delta fibers for thermal or mechanical stimuli and A-beta fibers for touch stimuli. Clinically, this is crucial in making an accurate assessment of the pain level experienced by a suffering patient, in indicating th...

Background : Epidemiological studies showed that low back pain after load-carrying and holding is the most common disorder in industrialized countries and cause of dysfunction and economic problems. Variable dynamic loads impose varying moments about the intervertebral joints and cause a threat to balance. The aim of the present study was to compare the postural stability while holding dynami...
متن کاملEffect of eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage on electro-myographyic activity of quadriceps in untrained healthy females
Background: The aim of this study was to investigate muscle damage indicators and electromyography activities of quadriceps muscles at 25° of hip flexion in untrained healthy females after an eccentric exercise induced muscle fiber damage. Methods : A total of 14 healthy females participated in this pre-experimental study. The subjects performed maximal eccentric quadriceps contractions at ...
