Relationship among corticomotor reorganization, pain, and function
pain
To determine whether facilitators in the experimental group exhibited different mechanical sensitivity, pain, and function changes to depressors, repeated‐measures ANOVAs were conducted with the between‐subject factor “Response” (facilitators vs. depressors) and the within‐subject factor “time” (Baseline and Day 2 postexercise). Nonresponders were excluded from this analysis. Pearson's correlations were run to further explore the relationship between changes in corticomotor outcomes and changes in mechanical sensitivity, pain, and function. The following values were used to interpret Pearson's correlation coefficient:
