Hyperpressure in the trapezius muscle associated with fibrosis [PDF]

Acta Orthopaedica Scandinavica, 1990
The intramuscular pressure at rest and during load in 25 symptomatic trapezius muscles was found to be higher than in 32 asymptomatic muscles. Operative findings in 4 patients revealed dense fibrosis around the muscle, including the accessory nerve, which might explain the increased intramuscular pressure. Fibrotic tissue release resulted in the relief

Muscle-specific endurance of the trapezius muscles using electrical twitch mechanomyography [PDF]

Shoulder & Elbow, 2017
Background Symptoms of fatigue and pain are often reported for the trapezius muscle in the shoulder. The present study evaluated endurance in the trapezius muscles of healthy participants using electric twitch mechanomyography (ETM). Methods Surface electrodes and a tri-axial accelerometer were placed over the left trapezius muscle.

The Impact of Different Muscle Relaxation Techniques on the Upper Trapezius and Its Relationship with the Middle Trapezius

Journal of Physiological Investigation
The relaxation of trapezius muscles is widely believed to alleviate fatigue or injury of the trapezius muscles and reduce the risk of shoulder and neck pain. This study aims to examine the effects of different muscle relaxation techniques on the physical
