Summary

Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is the most common musculoskeletal pain disorder. The pain originates from myofascial trigger points (TrPs) in skeletal muscle. The muscle that presents with TrPs would be identified through clinical diagnosis and assessment, and further treatment would be designed according to the identified muscle.With the high penetration rate of smartphones, it would be convenient to utilize smartphones as the assistive technology in the assessment and intervention of MPS. The smartphone-based MPS assessment and care system could eliminate the restrictions of the epidemic, and provide an independent usage, precisely identifying muscle with TrPs and personalized care plan application. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to 1. develop a smartphone-based assessment and health care system for patients with myofascial pain syndrome. And to 2. verify the feasibility and validity of the system assessment function. And to 3. testify the effectiveness of the system health care functions for patient intervention.
