No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The myofascial points within the trapezius muscle are hypoechogenic regions that can be depicted via ultrasound imaging. In this study we aimed to demonstrate the hypoechogenic regions within the trapezius muscle and to determine if physical therapy modalities change the appearance and size of these areas. We also wanted to explore if the presence of these areas correlate with pain.
