The myofascial induction technique (MIT) has been shown to increase shoulder range of motion (ROM) in breast cancer survivors and decrease pain pressure threshold over the radial nerve in patients with epicondylalgia. To the authors' best knowledge, no study on trigger points and MIT has been published to date. The effect on ROM of latent trigger points is also unknown.
A total of 20 twins with one latent trigger point of the gastrocnemius muscle were evaluated pre- and post-MIT in the calf. We measured static footprint variables in a pre-post study.
We found differences in PPT ( = 0.001) and no differences in ROM with knee flexed ( = 0.420) or stretched ( = 0.069).
After Calf MIT, latent myofascial trigger points improve PPT but no change in ankle dorsiflexion with knee bent or knee flexed were found in non-restriction healthy subjects.
肌筋膜诱导技术(MIT)已被证明可增加乳腺癌幸存者的肩部活动范围(ROM),并降低肱骨外上髁炎患者桡神经上的疼痛压力阈值。据作者所知,迄今为止尚未发表关于触发点与MIT的研究。潜在触发点对ROM的影响也尚不清楚。
共有20对双胞胎,每对中的一个在小腿腓肠肌有一个潜在触发点,在小腿进行MIT前后进行评估。我们在一项前后对照研究中测量了静态足迹变量。
我们发现疼痛压力阈值(PPT)存在差异(P = 0.001),而在膝关节屈曲(P = 0.420)或伸展时(P = 0.069)ROM没有差异。
在小腿进行MIT后,潜在的肌筋膜触发点改善了PPT,但在非受限健康受试者中,屈膝或伸膝时踝关节背屈没有变化。
