Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
One group taking part in 2 separate conditions
Subjects will be randomly assigned to either group A or B. Session 1 will serve to familiarize all participants with the battery of tests including the 100 mm VAS, Short-form Mcgill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ), Likert perception scale adapted from Kiefer et al. (2017), algometry, manual muscle testing, assessed via hand-held dynamometer (HHD), and grip strength assessed via hydraulic hand dynamometer; subjects will also be instructed in the AROM protocol. Familiarization will be conducted a minimum of 24 hours prior to the first condition. There will be a minimum washout period of 1 week to reduce both order and carry-over effects. Only the principal investigator will be abreast to the order of intervention, sufficiently blinding the raters. Prior to each trial, participants will be instructed to refrain from resistance training for a minimum of 48 hours and to abstain from the use of stimulants or analgesic medication for a minimum of 6 hours prior to reporting to the lab.
