- Abstract
The overload of upper extremity muscles (repetitive strain injury) while working with a computer can lead to the development of trigger points with consequent motor and sensory disorders. The objective of the work was to compare the effect of a combined therapy and depth oscillation and to observe long-term effects of the combined therapy on the latent trigger point in m. extensor digitorum. The cohort included 30 probands working more than three hours with a computer daily. The probands were randomized into three groups. The first group underwent treatment with depth oscillation, the second group was treated with the combined therapy and members of the third group served as controls. Changes in the pressure algic sensitivity were observed. The resulting values demonstrated statistically significant differences among the treated groups and the control group after the therapy was completed. The pressure algic sensitivity was changed in the group treated with the combined therapy and depth oscillation. The effect was short-dated, though, and it has become obvious that causes of the origin of central trigger points must always be determined and influenced.
