| Abstract |
Musculoskeletal conditions of the knee involve changes in sensorimotor function, but it is unclear whether these changes are a cause or result of pain. Induction of experimental pain may help solve this issue. Although this is commonly achieved by injection of hypertonic saline into muscle, muscle is commonly not the source of pain. This study investigated whether pain induced by injection of saline into the infrapatellar fat pad changes motor control of the quadriceps muscles of the knee. |
