Effects of prolonged and acute muscle pain on the force control strategy during isometric contractions

Persistent movement-evoked pain changes force direction from the pain-free direction. Acute pain leads to increase variation in force direction irrespective of persistent movement-evoked pain preceding the acutely painful event. These differences provide novel insight into the search and consolidation of new motor strategies in the presence of pain.
