Effect of experimental and clinical pain on the spatial distribution of muscle activity: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Effect of experimental and clinical pain on the spatial distribution of muscle activity: a systematic review and meta-analysis

IntroductionMusculoskeletal dysfunctions can significantly impair quality of life due to persistent pain and neuromuscular adaptations. While regional activation patterns in healthy muscles are well-documented, the effects of clinical and experimental pain on these patterns remain inconsistent. Acco...
