Abstract
The Effects of Active Range of Motion with Overpressure on the Fascia Displacement of the Upper Trapezius Muscle among Individuals With and Without Myofascial Pain Syndrome: A Retrospective Case-Control Study Protocol
Highlights
Myofascial Pain Syndrome (MPS) is a persistent pain on the shoulders and cervical spine related to limitation of motion (LOM), muscle weakness, and loss of function
This study will determine the differences in upper trapezius' superficial and deep fascia displacements among participants with and without MPS based on the effects of cervical active range of motion (AROM)
Myofascial Pain Syndrome (MPS) is a persistent pain on the shoulders and cervical spine related to decreased range of motion, muscle weakness, and loss of function.[1]
Summary
Myofascial Pain Syndrome (MPS) is a persistent pain on the shoulders and cervical spine related to decreased range of motion, muscle weakness, and loss of function.[1]. An altered fascia displacement may be present in 102 participants with and without a clinically diagnosed musculoskeletal condition.[6] A study reported a 20% decrease in thoracolumbar fascia mobility and shear strain of participants with chronic low back pain after repeated trunk flexion and extension.[7]. Another main feature of MPS is the presence of Myofascial trigger points (MTrPs). This study is delimited on diagnostic accuracy (i.e., sensitivity, specificity, likelihood ratios) of musculoskeletal ultrasound in examining the presence of MPS
