Interface Pressure Behavior during Painful Cuff Algometry

Abstract

Cuff systems with a liquid medium optimize the homogeneity of the interface pressure distribution. However, the deviation of the interface pressure from the inflating pressure is crucial as it counteracts the effects of pressure homogeneity on pain sensitivity in water-cuff algometry.

The Role of Preoperative Radiologic Severity, Sensory Testing, and Temporal Summation on Chronic Postoperative Pain Following Total Knee Arthroplasty

“…A similar loss of function has been seen in patients with, e.g. neuropathic pain 24 whereas patients with knee OA generally report gain of function of the central nervous system to stimulation of musculoskeletal structures 25,26 .…”

Computerized Cuff Pressure Algometry as Guidance for Circumferential Tissue Compression for Wearable Soft Robotic Applications: A Systematic Review

“…Five studies included only male, 22,23,[25][26][27] one study only female, 21 and four studies both male and female 24,[28][29][30][31][32] participants. Two studies only included 1 participant, 19,22 three studies included 12, 23,25,30 three studies included 16, 21,26,28 two included 20, 27,31 one 56, 29 one 98, 32 and one 136 24 participants. Three studies included participants over 35 years of age, 21,24,32 in one study the age of the single participant was not reported, 19 but comparison with another study by the same authors with the same data utilized 22 led us to believe that the participant was the same.…”

Tissue mechanics during temporal summation of sequentially cuff pressure‐induced pain in healthy volunteers and patients with painful osteoarthritis

“…the bones did not have any movement during the simulation, while the nodes of the soft tissue were left free (Manafi- Khanian et al, 2015a,b) to have displacement in space in all directions. A parabolic form of pressure along the axial direction of the limb (Graham et al, 1992;Manafi-Khanian et al, 2016) was defined in such a way that the average of the parabola was equivalent to the magnitude of the repeated pressure profile (Manafi-Khanian et al, 2016) previously extracted from the cuff system. The parabolic pressure distributions were applied circumferentially in the 6cm wide position of each chamber and on the surface of the model.…”
