An electronic pressure
algometer (
Algometer commander, JTech Medical, 4314 ZEVEX Park Line; Salt Lake City, UT 84123) was used to measure pressure pain threshold (PPT) with a stimulation surface area of 1 [cm.
Quantification of changes in myofascial trigger point sensitivity with the pressure
algometer following passive stretch.
They placed a pressure
algometer on each square and measured it.
The way we identified the muscles causing the pain was through palpation and through using a pressure
algometer to see if one muscle was much more sensitive to pressure than the same muscle on the other side.
A simple handheld pressure
algometer (PA) with a spring is commonly used, although more sophisticated electrical devices with a strain or pneumatic pressure gauge have been developed.
For stimulation in skin and muscles, electrodes, a pressure
algometer and a 'thermo tester' were used.
