Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Physiology
  • Rehabilitation Science

Background:

  • Force steadiness is vital for precise voluntary movements and daily function.
  • Previous research on pain's impact on force steadiness has yielded conflicting results.
  • Musculoskeletal pain can affect motor control and functional capacity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review existing literature on the influence of pain on force steadiness.
  • To determine if clinical or experimental pain impacts the precision of force production.
  • To synthesize current evidence regarding pain and motor control.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review protocol adhering to PRISMA and Cochrane guidelines.
  • Comprehensive database searches (MEDLINE, EMBASE, PubMed, etc.) up to August 2020.
  • Risk of bias assessment using Newcastle-Ottawa tool and evidence quality evaluation with GRADE guidelines.

Main Results:

  • Awaiting synthesis of findings from included studies.
  • Potential for meta-analysis if study groups are homogeneous.
  • Narrative synthesis or vote-counting methods will be employed if meta-analysis is not feasible.

Conclusions:

  • Findings will elucidate the relationship between pain and force steadiness.
  • Results will inform clinical practice and future research in pain and motor control.
  • The review will be disseminated through conferences and peer-reviewed publications.
