Electrical muscle stimulation towards self-physiotherapy on myofascial pain syndrome [PDF]

Frontiers in Rehabilitation Sciences
BackgroundMyofascial trigger points (MTrPs) are the cause of pain from myofascial pain syndrome (MPS), frequently in the trapezius muscle (TM). Working adults often avoid treatment due to the need for therapist assistance and limited time.MethodsThis ...

Electrospun Fiber as a Facile Means of Studying Silver Nanowires under Mechanical Stretching

Small Science, 2023
It is a great challenge to study the mechanical property of nanomaterials because it is difficult to get a hold of them and apply force. A convenient alternative method via electrospun fibers is shown, where silica‐coated fivefold twinned silver ...

Differences in Gastrocnemius Muscle Architectural Properties between Child Female Athletes with Different Flexibility Training Backgrounds

Proceedings, 2019
AIM: Τhe mechanisms underpinning long-term changes in muscle architectural characteristics and joint range of motion (ROM) following static stretching in humans remain under question, and data are sparse for growing athletes. It is possible that the
