Relationship between Allodynia and Pain Pressure Threshold in OA participants
Pressure Pain Threshold (kilograms of force), (Mean ± SD) | Presence of Allodynia at Ipsilateral tibial tuberosity | P-value | |
---|---|---|---|
Yes (n = 23) | No (n = 19) | ||
Ispilateral radial styloid | 2.56 ± 1.19 | 3.71 ± 1.53 | 0.01 |
Contralateral radial styloid | 2.51 ± 1.26 | 3.75 ± 1.50 | 0.007 |
Ispilateral tibial tuberosity | 3.16 ± 1.56 | 4.59 ± 1.39 | 0.003 |
Contralateral tibial tuberosity | 3.57 ± 1.61 | 4.48 ± 1.32 | 0.052 |
Ispilateral medial joint line | 2.16 ± 1.23 | 3.44 ± 1.64 | 0.008 |
Contralateral medial joint Line | 2.54 ± 1.46 | 3.77 ± 11.81 | 0.02 |
