Moving differently in pain: a new theory to explain the adaptation to pain

PW Hodges, K Tucker - Pain, 2011 - Elsevier
People move differently in pain. Although this statement is unquestioned, the underlying
mechanisms are surprisingly poorly understood. Existing theories are relatively simplistic …

Neuromuscular adaptation in experimental and clinical neck pain

D Falla, D Farina - Journal of Electromyography and Kinesiology, 2008 - Elsevier
The purpose of this brief review is to present evidence from experimental and clinical neck
pain studies of pain-induced neuromuscular adaptations. It has been shown that clinical …

The change in spatial distribution of upper trapezius muscle activity is correlated to contraction duration

D Farina, F Leclerc, L Arendt-Nielsen, O Buttelli… - Journal of …, 2008 - Elsevier
The aim of the study was to confirm the hypothesis that the longer a contraction is sustained,
the larger are the changes in the spatial distribution of muscle activity. For this purpose …

Motor consequences of experimentally induced limb pain: a systematic review

PJM Bank, CE Peper, J Marinus, PJ Beek… - … journal of pain, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Compelling evidence exists that pain may affect the motor system, but it is unclear if different
sources of peripheral limb pain exert selective effects on motor control. This systematic …

Detecting the unique representation of motor-unit action potentials in the surface electromyogram

D Farina, F Negro, M Gazzoni… - Journal of …, 2008 - journals.physiology.org
This study investigated the relative proportion of motor-unit action potentials that are
uniquely represented in the simulated and experimental surface electromyogram (EMG) …

Neural and muscular factors associated with motor impairment in neck pain

D Falla, D Farina - Current rheumatology reports, 2007 - Springer
Clinical neck pain is associated with impairment of muscle performance, assessable at a
functional level. Functional deficiencies reflect altered mechanisms of muscle control and …
