Abstract
The findings of this study suggest a new theory to help explain the origin of nonspecific arm pain. It proposes an as yet unrecognized physiologic process, the physiologic activity limitation process. When the combination of duration and intensity of an activity is greater than that appropriate for an individual's level of fitness for that activity, this process generates unpleasant sensations, the function of which is to limit that activity. The physiologic pain generated by this process has pathways in common with pain caused by other protective mechanisms.
