QST mechanical measures comparing CTS participants and controls. Boxes represent the interquartile range, the centre line the median. The black upper dotted line represents + 1.96z, the bottom dotted line - 1.96z. Scores between the two are interpreted as normal, those above as gain of function and below as loss of function. Significance is denoted as * at the 0.05 probability level; ** at 0.01; *** at 0.001. Mechanical detection threshold (MDT); mechanical pain sensitivity (MPS); mechanical pain threshold (MPT); pressure pain threshold (PPT); vibration detection threshold (VDT); wind-up ration (WUR)
