Background: Pain and body perception are essentially two subjective mutually influencing
experiences. However, in the field of musculoskeletal disorders and rheumatic diseases we …

Research shows that chronic pain is related to cortical alterations that can be reflected in
reduced tactile acuity, but whether acute pain perception influences tactile acuity has not …

Background Lumbopelvic pain (LPP) is common during pregnancy and can have long-
lasting negative consequences in terms of disability and reduced quality of life. Therefore, it …

Localizing tactile stimulation is an important capability for everyday function and may be
impaired in people with persistent pain. This study sought to provide a detailed description …

The perceived distance between two touches is anisotropic on many parts of the body.
Generally, tactile distances oriented across body width are perceived as larger than …

Objective. Chronic low back pain is an overwhelming problem for a wide range of people
and leads to tactile acuity deficits. We aimed to investigate the correlations among age, pain …

The two-point discrimination threshold (2PDT) has been used to investigate the integration
of sensory information, especially in relation to spatial acuity. The 2PDT has been …

Objective. To investigate the intra‐and inter‐rater reliability of three measurements on
painful and pain‐free sides in participants with chronic low back pain (CLBP) at different …

Objectives Sensory dissociation (SEDI), the discrepancy between perception and actual size
or shape of a painful body part, is a frequently observed finding in patients with chronic low …

Objective: Recent conflicting findings in experimentally induced neck and back pain led us
to conduct a TPD investigation in experimentally induced limb pain. We hypothesised …
