Abstrakt: Objective: The goals of this study are to establish whether mechanical pressure pain, short-term memory recall of a painful stimulus, or long-term memory of a previous painful lower limb injury alters isometric muscle strength and whether there was a difference in responses between participants with and without a previous history of injury.
Design: Fifty-nine pain-free participants (29 with previous injury and 30 without) participated in this study. Tibialis anterior isometric muscle strength was compared pre- and post-noxious mechanical stimulus with instructions to recall pain (short- and long-term).
Results: Short- and long-term pain recall produced a significant reduction in muscle strength (short-term: F (1,57) = 160.472, P < 0.001; long-term: F (1,57) = 128.899, P < 0.001). A greater decrease was experienced with short- and long-term pain memory than exposure to mechanical pain (mechanical pain: -14.8% or -32.98 kg, 95% confidence interval [CI], -41.57 to -24.19; short-term: -24.1% or -52.70 kg, 95% CI = -60.98 to -44.34; long-term: -20.3% or -44.63 kg, 95% CI = -52.77 to -36.95). There was no significant difference in responses associated with an injury history.
Conclusions: Findings suggest that recalled pain memory can impact motor responses and calls attention to the role of past injury history in the rehabilitation process.
