    S4 E6 You rethink pain: Spatial Summation of Pain

    S4 E6 You rethink Pain Pain: we know it – we feel it – but do we truly understand it? Tom Frankenstein, from the University of Lübeck, aims to answer this question. During the research symposium, he spoke about spatial summation of pain, a hitherto unresearched topic. We had the privilege of listening to the session and we'd like to give you a quick overview of this phenomenon. Don’t be shy – Just stop by! If you'd like to do some background reading, here are a few references: 1. Frankenstein, T., Szikszay, T. M., Coghill, R. C., Luedtke, K. & Adamczyk, W. M. (2025).

    S4 E2 Physical activity after total knee arthroplasty

    Does less pain equal more movement after knee arthroplasty? The answer might surprise you!
