MAS2 Trigger Point
MAS2 Review for Exam
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Active TrP | always tender, prevent full lengthening of the muscle, weaken the muscle, and refer pain on direct compression. |
| Latent TrP | painful only when pressed. |
| Primary TrP | activated by acute or chronic overload of a muscle |
| Secondary TrP | active because of their reaction to a muscle containing a primary trigger point. |
| Satellite TrP | becomes active because it is in a muscle in a zone of reference of another TrP. |
| Associated TrP | refers to secondary or satellite trigger points |
| Trigger Point Therapy | involves the identification and deactivation of painful fibrous nodules called trigger points that occur in muscle and connective tissue. |
| Trigger Points | can be felt as taut bands of tissue that elicit pain if pressed and that refer pain to other areas in predictable patterns. |
| Reference Zone | The area of the body affected by a particular trigger point |
| Direct Pressure | techniques involving compressing tissues directly over the taut band of the TrP. |
| The person best known for treating U.S. presidents in the 1960s, including John F. Kennedy, with trigger point therapy is (Bonnie Prudden) (Janet Travell). | Janet Travell |
| Trigger points feel like a (taut) (loose) band of muscle or tendon tissue. | taut |
| Trigger points refer pain to their (reference) (immediate) zone. | trauma, poor posture, repetitive strain, or overwork. |
| Muscles in the immediate area of a trigger point may feel tense and (wood-like) (rope-like). | Ropelike |
| Trigger points that are always tender, that weaken and shorten the muscle in which they are located, and that refer pain on direct compression are categorized as (satellite) (active) TrPs. | Active |
| One of the primary causes of trigger points is (acute stress) (overstretch) of a muscle. | Acute stress |
| Direct pressure that causes tissues to become temporarily white from lack of blood and oxygen, is called (ischemic) (active) compression. | Ischemic |
| Trigger points in the shoulders and (back) (neck) are a major cause of tension headaches. | neck |
| To save wear and tear on the thumbs, massage therapists can deactivate trigger points using (simple hand tools) (saline injections). | simple hand tools |
| Direct pressure into a trigger point pushes the (fibers) (sarcomeres) of the muscle tissue apart, releasing the contraction. | sarcomeres |
| A microscopic view of a muscle with a trigger point would reveal: A. Tiny bacteria B. Dilated blood vessels C. Swollen lymph nodes D. Tiny contraction knots along the muscle fibers | D. Tiny contraction knots along the muscle fibers |
| Trigger points that are painful only when pressed are categorized as: A. Associated TrPs B. Latent TrPs C. Active TrPs D. Satellite TrPs | B. Latent TrPs |
| A visible or palpable transient contraction of fibers within the taut band of a trigger point when it is pressed is called: A. Forced contraction B. Spasm response C. Local twitch response D. Reflex contraction | C. Local twitch response |
| A trigger point treatment technique not in the scope of massage therapists is: A. Dry needling B. Direct pressure C. Muscle stripping D. Stretching | A. Dry needling |
| A sign that a trigger point has released is: A. Softening of the taut band B. Sinking into the point C. Decreased pain felt by the client D. All of the above | D. All of the above |
| For a more complete treatment, direct pressure to a trigger point is followed by: A. Tapotement on the affected muscle B. Stretching of the affected muscle C. Vibration in the general area D. Lymphatic facilitation techniques | B. Stretching of the affected muscle |
| When working through larger muscles to affect deeper muscles in an area, for example, to reach the deeper muscles of the buttocks, direct pressure can be applied with the: A. Thumb B. Little finger C. Two middle fingers D. Elbow | D. Elbow |
| A trigger point that becomes active because it is in a muscle in a zone of reference of another trigger point is categorized as: A. Latent B. Active C. Satellite D. Referenced | C. Satellite |
| The referred pain of trigger points is often described as: A. Dull and aching B. Sharp and piercing C. Burning D. Soft and light | B. Sharp and piercing |
| Direct pressure to a trigger point is typically sustained for: A. 10 seconds B. 10–20 seconds C. 30–90 seconds D. 3 minutes | C. 30–90 seconds |
