Resumen

Se realiza una revisión de la literatura científica sobre el dolor por presión obtenido mediante algómetros. Se realiza una comparación de los umbrales de presión del dolor (PPT) obtenidos o considerados en los estudios analizados. El resultado principal de este trabajo es la recopilación de estos valores de PPT relativos a las regiones del cuerpo donde los algómetros aplicaron la presión: músculos del trapecio, músculos de la espalda, extremidades superiores, músculos de las piernas, zona de los pies y músculos de la cabeza. Además, se presenta una comparación entre los resultados de los algómetros manuales y los electromecánicos. Se crean varias tablas que pueden ser útiles para comparar futuros estudios que adopten algómetros de presión. Estos valores también pueden considerarse una referencia para evaluar la precisión y la fiabilidad de los nuevos algómetros, ya sean manuales o electromecánicos. Además, a partir de la información obtenida, se presentan los requisitos de diseño de un algómetro de presión electromecánico. Estos requisitos se definen para desarrollar un instrumento portátil que además sea más pequeño, ligero y barato que los existentes y que pueda medir la presión en diferentes partes del cuerpo humano.
