Test-retest analysis assesses pressure pain threshold reliability in adults aged 55-75, indicating effective use of digital algometer.

Pressure pain thresholds on the foot showed good reliability between test sessions, supporting potential for clinical use.
The intraclass correlation coefficients ranged from 0.76 to 0.91, indicating strong reliability in measurements at four foot locations.
Measurements taken at various intervals revealed SEM values between 5N to 10N, reflecting reliable outcomes across repeated sessions.
The study highlights the importance of using objective tools like the digital algometer for assessing foot pain in older adults.

Mayorga-Vega et al. (2025) studied this question.
