16 Questions
What is a Trigger Point (TrP) in skeletal muscle?
A hyperirritable spot in skeletal muscle associated with a hypersensitive palpable nodule in a taut band
Which sign is associated with Trigger Point Detection?
Jump and Twitch signs
What is a common characteristic of Trigger Point location?
Presence of heightened skin temperature in the affected area
Which muscle's anatomy is essential to understand for Integrated Neuromuscular Inhibition Technique (INIT)?
Upper fibers of the Trapezius muscle
What is a possible effect of Integrated Neuromuscular Inhibition Technique (INIT)?
Alleviation of referred pain
What sign indicates increased hydrosis in an active trigger point?
'Jump and Twitch' signs
What is the origin of the upper fibers of the Trapezius muscle?
Medial third of the superior nuchal line
Where is TrP1 located, which is a trigger point in the upper trapezius muscle?
At the angle of the neck and shoulder
According to Leon Chaitow, what combination of techniques does INIT (Integrated Neuromuscular Inhibition Technique) link?
Ischemic compression, Positional Release Technique, Muscle Energy Technique
What is the first step in the Ischemic Compression technique as part of INIT?
Utilizing a pincer grasp
What is the referred pain pattern for the trigger points in the middle fibers of the Trapezius muscle?
Interscapular area and slightly up to the back of the neck
Which technique involves a passive positional procedure that places the body in a position of greatest comfort?
Strain-counter strain (SCS)
What step in Muscle Energy Technique (MET) involves taking the hypertonic muscle to a length just short of pain?
Applying moderate digital pressure
Where is TrP5 located, which is a trigger point in the middle trapezius muscle?
In the horizontal part, medial to the insertion of the levator scapula muscle on the scapula
What does Muscle Energy Technique (MET) use to relax muscles?
Muscle's own energy in form of gentle isometric or isotonic contraction
Where is TrP6 located, which is a trigger point in the middle trapezius muscle?
In supraspinatous fossa of scapula, near acromion
Test your knowledge about trigger points, Integrated Neuromuscular Inhibition Technique (INIT), and the anatomy of the upper fibers of the Trapezius muscle. Identify trigger point locations, understand referred pain, and learn the steps of INIT.
