  • Computer-aided surface estimation of pain drawings : intra- and inter-rater reliabilityPersson, Ann L.; Garametsos, Sofia; Pedersen, Jonna: Computer-aided surface estimation of pain drawings - intra- and inter-rater reliability. - Journal of pain research ; vol. 2011, no. 4, 2011. - p. 135-141
    Pain drawings are often utilized in the documentation of pain conditions. The aim here was to investigate intra- and inter-rater reliability of area measurements performed on pain drawings consecutively, using the computer program Quantify One. Since pain drawings with this method are digitized, high quality data without loss of information is possible to store in electronic medical records for later analysis, both regarding precise location and size of pain area. We conclude that the computer program Quantify One is a reliable method to calculate the areas of pain drawings.

  • Self-reported activity in tortured refugees with long-term sequelae including pain and the impact of foot pain from falangaPrip, Karen; Persson, Ann L.; Sjölund Bengt H.: Self-reported activity in tortured refugees with long-term sequelae including pain and the impact of foot pain from falanga : a cross-sectional study. - Disability and Rehabilitation, vol. 33, no. 7, 2011: p. 569-578.
    Purpose: To describe activity limitations in tortured refugees referred for rehabilitation, particularly the impact of neuropathic pain resulting from falanga (beatings under the feet). Conclusion: In this group of victims who had chronic pain for at least 5 years after torture, all perceived activity limitations, but pain from falanga had a greater overall impact on disability assessed in terms of daily activities.
