  • A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
    MYOFASCIAL TRIGGER POINTS AND INNERVATION ZONE LOCATIONS IN UPPER TRAPEZIUS MUSCLES MARCO BARBERO A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy QUEEN MARGARET UNIVERSITY 2016 1 ABSTRACT Myofascial pain syndrome is characterized by sensory, motor and autonomic symptoms, and a myofascial trigger point (MTrP) is considered the principal clinical feature. Clinicians recognise myofascial pain syndrome as an important clinical entity but many basic and clinical issues need further research. Electrophysiological studies indicate that abnormal electrical activity is detectable near MTrPs. This phenomenon has been described as endplate noise and it has been purported to be associated MTrP pathophysiology. Authors also suggest that MTrPs are located in the innervation zone (IZ) of muscles. The aim of this thesis was to describe both the location of MTrP and the IZ’ locations in the upper trapezius muscle. The hypothesis was that distance between the IZ and the MTrP in upper trapezius muscle is equal to zero. This thesis includes two preliminary studies. The first one address the reliability of surface electromyography (EMG) in locating the IZ in upper trapezius muscle, and the second one address the reliability of a manual palpation protocol in locating the MTrP in upper trapezius muscle. The intra- rater reliability of surface EMG in locating the IZ was almost perfect; with Kappa = 0.90 for operator A and Kappa = 0.92 for operator B. Also the inter- rater reliability showed an almost perfect agreement, with Kappa = 0.82. Both the operators conducted 900 estimations of IZ’ location through visual analysis of the EMG signals.

  • Meniscus Tear
    291 North Fireweed Soldotna, AK 99669 907-262-6454 www.kenaipeninsulaortho.com ______________________________________________________________________________________ Orthopaedic Surgeon: Hand and Wrist Specialist: Henry G. Krull, M.D. Edwin D. Vyhmeister, M.D. Meniscus Tear The meniscus is the rubbery, soft cartilage cushion in the knee. There are two of the C-shaped cushions in each knee, a medial (inner) and lateral (outer) meniscus. They sit between the two bones that form the knee joint, and function to cushion and support the knee. The meniscus can tear with injury or degeneration, or a combination of both. The medial meniscus is torn about 10X more frequently than the lateral meniscus. In young people, the meniscus usually tears with an injury. In older people, the cartilage can degenerate (weaken) with age, and can tear with or without an injury; spontaneous tears can occur. Meniscal tears can occur in association with other injuries to the knee. Symptoms: Pain is the usual symptom of complaint with a meniscus tear. There is often a noticeable “pop.” Swelling and stiffness can also occur. Mechanical symptoms are common—clicking, popping, and locking. Sometimes there is just a feeling that something is wrong inside the knee. Pain can be sharp, or can be dull and aching. Meniscus tears do not heal, but sometimes the symptoms dissipate. Chronic, intermittent symptoms is very common. Meniscal tears can cause a feeling of instability, or can cause the knee to buckle or give way. Cause: Injuries, particularly with sports, are a common cause of meniscal tears in young people. As people age, the meniscus tissue weakens through the normal degenerative process, and tears can occur spontaneously, or with simple activities, such as getting up from a chair, and changing direction while walking.

  • Physical Examination of the Knee: Meniscus, Cartilage, and Patellofemoral Conditions

Schaffer, MD superficial anatomy enables diagnosis of the injury through a thorough history and physical examination. Examination techniques for the knee described decades ago are still useful, as are more recently developed tests. Proper use of these techniques requires understanding of the anatomy and biomechanical principles of the knee as well as the pathophysiology of the injuries, including tears to the menisci and extensor mechanism, patellofemoral conditions, and osteochondritis dissecans.

  • My Experience Was Fantastic! I Feel Better, and I Can Walk and Bicycle Again.“ –Gary W
    "My experience was fantastic! I feel better, and I can walk and bicycle again.“ –Gary W. Regenerative Injection Therapy (“RIT”) is an orthopedic approach to healing that is different from traditional orthopedic surgery. Using minimally invasive techniques, our certified physician injects specialized, regenerative cells or growth factor into the precise tissues that need repair. Traditional orthopedic surgery can lead to very serious risk and long, painful recovery. Regenerative Injection Therapy promises no surgical risk, no slings or braces, and participation in a comprehensive hyperbaric oxygen and physical therapy program that is significantly less painful and more functional overall for the patient. Regenerative Injection Therapy offers unique treatment Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (“HBOT”) strategies for the following injuries: is a medical treatment that uses pressurized - Disc bulge oxygen to aid in healing wounds and treating - Joint replacement other specific illnesses.

  • Your Complete Guide to Meniscus Injuries
    Your Complete Guide to Meniscus Injuries Getting you back on your feet eBook A PUBLICATION BY DRSTUARTMACKENZIE.COM.AU TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction 3 What is the Meniscus? 4 Types of Meniscus Injuries 5 How do Meniscus Injuries Occur? 6 What are the Symptoms of Meniscus Injury? 7 What Sports/Activities put me at a higher Risk of Meniscus Injury? 8 What can you do to prevent Meniscus Injury? 8 Treatment Options 9-10 Recovery From Surgery 11 2 Introduction Meniscus injuries are the most common type of injury to the knee. There are several different types of meniscus injury which may require different treatment. Meniscus injuries commonly happen playing sport, but are also common with other activities. The treatment can vary from needing nothing to physiotherapy to surgery depending on the type and severity of meniscal injury. Regardless of the type of meniscus injury and the treatment required most people will return to full normal knee function or close to it after treatment. 3 What is the Meniscus? The meniscus is a cartilage structure inside your knee. In fact, there are 2 menisci in your knee. A medial meniscus (on the inside part of the knee) and a lateral meniscus (on the outside part of the knee). There are different types of cartilage inside your knee which serve different purposes. The articular cartilage is a very smooth cartilage which covers the ends of the bones in a thin layer and allows a smooth surface for movement. The meniscus sits between the articular cartilage of the femur (thigh bone) and tibia (shin bone).
