Upper and Lower Extremity Exercise and Exercise-Induced Hypoalgesia in Knee Osteoarthritis
On day 1, we will collect participant characteristics data. We will also collect data related to race/ethnicity, racial discrimination, acculturative stress, physical activity level, heart rate variability (HRV) parameters (measures of autonomic function). Further, participants will undergo knee pain assessment with a 20-meter walk, quantitative sensory testing (QST) measures of pressure pain threshold (PPT), temporal summation (TS), and conditioned pain modulation (CPM) as surrogate measures of central pain mechanisms.
On Days 2 and 3 we will collect knee pain, QST, and EIH data before and immediately after the exercise.

Changes in pressure pain thresholds (Measure of exercise-induced hypoalgesia) | Pressure pain thresholds (PPT) will be assessed at the wrist and patella. PPT being assessed at a remote body site (e.g., wrist) is to measure central pain sensitivity while PPT being assessed at the location of pain (i.e., knee, patellae) is to assess peripheral pain sensitivity with or without central pain sensitivity. PPT will be assessed using a handheld pressure algometer with 1 cm2 rubber tip. PPT will be defined as the point at which the participant verbally indicated that the pressure first changed to slight pain. A lower PPT value (Kgf) represents greater pain sensitivity. PPT will be assessed 3 times at each location and averaged. Furthermore, changes in PPT after exercise has been used to assess the degree of exercise-induced hypoalgesia (EIH). When PPT values increase after the exercise, it indicates a reduction of pain sensitivity and, therefore, an effect of EIH. | Day 1: PPT will be assessed twice. PPT assessment --> 25 minutes of waiting --> PPT assessment; Time frame of Days 2 and 3 will be the same except 25 minutes of waiting time. It will be 25 minutes of exercise (either AE or LE) on Days 2 and 3 |
Mechanical temporal summation | Temporal summation (TS) is a sensitive measurement of central pain sensitivity. Investigators will assess TS using a standard set of weighted probes from 64-512 mN. Participants will rate the pain experienced by each successive weighted probe being touched on the skin of the wrist until a pain rating of ≥ 4/10 is achieved. The selected probe will be then applied at a frequency of 1 Hz for 10 seconds on the wrist. Participants will provide a pain rating at the completion of the train of 10 stimulations and 15 seconds post-stimulation. TS will be defined as the difference between the highest post-stimulation pain rating and the initial pain rating. A post-stimulation pain rating greater than the initial pain rating will be considered to be reflective of an increase in central pain sensitivity. | Day 1: TS will be assessed twice. TS assessment --> 25 minutes of waiting --> TS assessment; Time frame of Days 2 and 3 will be the same except 25 minutes of waiting time. It will be 25 minutes of exercise (either AE or LE) on Days 2 and 3 |
Conditioned pain modulation | Conditioned pain modulation (CPM) evaluates the adequacy of the descending pain modulatory pathways, which contributes to central pain sensitivity. Investigators will assess CPM using PPT as the test stimulus (PPT1) at the wrist as described above, with forearm ischemia using a blood pressure cuff as the conditioning stimulus. Briefly, the blood pressure cuff applied to the contralateral arm will be inflated to 10mm Hg above systolic pressure. The participant will be then instructed to perform hand grip squeezes until pain of at least 4/10 occurs in the contralateral arm. PPT will be then reassessed at the wrist 3 times and averaged (PPT2). Percent efficiency of CPM (%CPM) was computed as PPT2/PPT1, multiplied by 100; %CPM ≤ 100 indicates inefficient CPM. | Day 1: CPM will be assessed twice. CPM assessment --> 25 minutes of waiting --> CPM assessment; Time frame of Days 2 and 3 will be the same except 25 minutes of waiting time. It will be 25 minutes of exercise (either AE or LE) on Days 2 and 3 |
Knee pain | We will assess changes in knee pain with a 20 meter walk using a 0-10 numeric rating scale where 0 indicates no knee pain and 10 indicates the worst knee pain. | Day 1: knee pain will be assessed twice. Knee pain assessment --> 25 minutes of waiting --> knee pain assessment; Time frame of Days 2 and 3 will be the same except 25 minutes of waiting time. It will be 25 minutes of exercise (either AE or LE) on Days 2 |

Racial discrimination | Racial discrimination will be assessed with the Perceived Experiences of Discrimination Questionnaire-Community Version (PEDQ-CV). This is a reliable and valid 17-item survey that assesses experiences of racialized discrimination. | Day 1 after obtaining the informed consent form |
Acculturative Stress | Acculturative stress will be assessed with The Social, Attitudinal, Familial, Environment Acculturative Stress Scale (SAFE). SAFE is composed of 24 items that measure stress as a result of the acculturation process in four contexts: social, attitudinal, familial and environmental acculturative. | Day 1 after obtaining the informed consent form |
Autonomic function | Heart rate variability (HRV), a measurement of autonomic function, will be assessed using a wearable and wireless heart rate monitor. Investigators will have participants lie supine for 5 minutes to collect heart rate variability parameters such as high frequency and high-frequency/low-frequency ratio. | Day 1 after obtaining the informed consent form |
The Western Ontario McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) | WOMAC knee pain scale ranges 0-20 with 5 questions assessing knee pain in different contexts such as knee pain during walking and pain during standing. Each question has a score of 0-4. A greater WOMAC score represents greater knee pain. | Day 1 after obtaining the informed consent form |
Pain catastrophizing scale (PCS) | The Pain Catastrophizing Scale is a validated 13-item scale with questions related to catastrophizing behavior. The total score is 52 with higher scores indicating greater catastrophic thoughts. | Day 1 after obtaining the informed consent form |
Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) | The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) is a self-reported questionnaire. PSQI contains 19 individual items, creating seven components that produce one global score, ranging from 0 to 21. A score of 0-4 indicates the absence of sleep problems, while scores 5 and higher indicate poor sleep quality. | Day 1 after obtaining the informed consent form |
Hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS) | HADS contains seven questions about anxiety and seven questions about depression, with a 0-3 score for each question. Higher scores indicate greater anxiety and depression. | Day 1 after obtaining the informed consent form |

MET minutes represent the amount of energy expended carrying out physical activity. | Day 1 after obtaining the informed consent form |
Instrument support | Instrument support will be assessed with the PROMIS SFv2.0 Instrumental Support 6a questionnaire. This is a 6-item questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale ranging from "never" to "Always". Each score will be standardized to T-scores with mean of 50 standard deviation of 10. A higher score indicates having more support. | Day 1 after obtaining the informed consent form |
Emotional support | Emotional support will be assessed with the PROMIS SFv2.0 Emotional Support 6a questionnaire. This is a 6-item questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale ranging from "never" to "Always". Each score will be standardized to T-scores with mean of 50 standard deviation of 10.

Positive and negative affect | The Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) is a 20-item measure that consists of 10 positive items (e.g., excited, proud) and 10 negative items (e.g., distressed, scared). Items are self-rated on a 5-point Likert-type scale ranging from 1 (very slightly or not at all) to 5 (extremely) and summed to produce total subscale scores for positive and negative affect ranging from 10 to 50, with higher scores representing higher levels of each subscale | Day 1 after obtaining the informed consent form |
