Results are recorded under the pressure scale heading once the test has begun. The evaluator needs to
enter the client’s pain scale rating here after each reading.
Once all of the locations have been selected and you are ready to perform a superficial tenderness test,
you must first re-zero the Algometer (apply no weight).
You may now begin testing. Make sure that your cursor is flashing in the first location underneath the
Pressure Scale heading.
You can re-zero the device at any time by clicking on the re-zero button. You may also create new trials
and delete old trials.
The ODES software also comes with a pre-programmed fibromyalgia template. To access this template,
click Templates on the superficial tenderness page.
