Reliability of the use of foot pressure pain threshold in adults: a test-retest analysis
A digital algometer can be used to measure pressure pain thresholds on the foot. Specifically, this study used this technique to evaluate PPT at four points on the plantar surface (head of the first and fifth metatarsals, pulp of the first toe, and center of the heel), and the results showed good to excellent reliability for within- and between-session measurements.
