Trigger Points

Question 1

Myofascial pain

Answer 1

Painterizing from muscles are related fascia

Question 2

Active triggerpoints

Answer 2

Spontaneous pain at rest.
Increase in pain and contraction or stretching of the muscle involved.
Often restriction of its range of motion.
Pain on motion may cause pseudo weakness due to reflex inhibition.

Question 3

Latent trigger points

Answer 3

Differs from active triggerpoints in that nociceptors have become activated and sensitize, but not enough to cause spontaneous pain.
May restrict range of movement
May result in the weakness of the muscle involved, referred pain on compression
It is, therefore possible to find the latent muscle triggerpoints in asymptomatic individuals

Question 4

Ligamentous triggerpoints

Answer 4

Found and stretch ligaments as a result of aging trauma and poor posture.
Particularly ligaments in the vertebral column and pelvis or appendicular skeleton
Extremely sensitive to further stretching.
May be fired by prolong, stressful positions or extreme ranges of movement.
Usually associated with weak, tight muscles.

Question 5

Periosteal triggerpoints

Answer 5

Found on the surface of bone usually at the site of ligament or tendon attachment related to tension of that area.

Question 6

Primary triggerpoints

Answer 6

The triggerpoints, whose nociceptor activity in a muscle is primarily responsible for the pain syndrome

Question 7

Secondary triggerpoints

Answer 7

These develop elsewhere within the initial affected muscle caused by the primary muscle trigger point

Question 8

Satellite trigger point

Answer 8

It is a trigger point that arises in response to an existing central trigger point in other surrounding muscles .
