Computational Mathematical Analysis in Vastus Medialis Between a MTrP and Non Painful Point
Spain66 participantsStarted 2023-11-13
Plain-language summary
With the help of ultrasound, the goal of the study is to asses the differences between MTR points and non painful points, in order to characterize the identification of MTR througought ultrasound. Being a complex process that needs to be standarized for each muscle, the study takes place in the vastus medialis.
