Pain pressure threshold algometry in knee osteoarthritis: intra- and inter-rater reliability.
Authors
Abstract
Synovitis and effusion can cause pain sensitization in persons with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Pain Pressure Threshold (PPT) algometry is a means to quantify somatosensory abnormalities, including inflammatory-mediated pressure hyperalgesia. We investigated the reliability of PPT algometry with three raters.
