Association between subscapularis trigger point and frozen shoulder: A cross sectional study.

Background: Frozen shoulder (FS) is one of the most common shoulder conditions characterized by pain, restricted range of motion and high morbidity. Though FS is known as adhesive capsulitis, presence of capsular adhesions has been rebutted and the nomenclature adhesive capsulitis is debated. It has been proposed that FS is a condition of cytokine driven capsular, ligamentous fibrosis and contracture.

Association between trigger points in hamstring, posterior leg, foot muscles and plantar fasciopathy: A cross- sectional study.

Backround: Plantar Fasciopathy (PF) is soreness or irritability experienced underneath infero-medial aspect of the heel. It is a multifactorial disorder where myofascial involvement also seems to be associated with it, in which, muscles of posterior thigh, leg and foot muscles are affected. Trigger points in these muscles may interfere with biomechanics and normal functioning of the lower limb.
