myofascial trigger point(English)
- refers to the local highly sensitive tender points contained in palpable tight muscle bands in skeletal muscles, which can cause referred pain, muscle dysfunction, and even sympathetic neuralgia when pressed. Divided into “active” and “latent.” Active trigger points often cause pain when palpated, while latent trigger points are generally asymptomatic and do not cause pain when palpated. Although not as painful as active trigger points, latent trigger points can also cause joint dysfunction. Palpation of the infraspinatus is the most appropriate location to test for the presence of MTrPs in the shoulder
