Study Summary

In this study investigators will examine the effect of dose related to exercise therapy for pain in healthy adult humans. An acute pain model will be employed to study the effect of exercise dose on pain. Acute pain models are currently used to study pain (both acute and chronic) in human samples as there is currently no chronic pain model.

Primary Outcome

Subjects' cutaneous mechanical sensitivity threshold will be examined using standard monofilaments that apply a force of 0.008g, 0.02g, 0.04g, 0.07g, 0.16g, 0.4g, 0.6g and 1.0g to the forearm and calf. Percent Baseline to 24 hrs post-intervention will then be calculated (100\*Value at 24 hours/Value at Baseline). A filament of different weight is applied to the skin to look at the threshold of response.
