Time-course changes in calf muscle pressure pain threshold (MPPT) (A) and width (B) after cast removal. Data are presented as mean values ± standard error of the mean (n = 10). Horizontal axes indicate measurement time points (B: before cast application; 2 h: 2 hours; w- weeks). ^*P < 0.05 and ^**P < 0.01 relative to B (two-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s multiple comparison test). ^#P < 0.05, ^##P < 0.01, and ^###P < 0.001 relative to the untreated group [A] one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s multiple comparison test, [B] Student’s t-test).
