1. Schematic of a trigger point complex
Schematic of a trigger point complex. CTrP identifies the central trigger point that is found in the endplate zone and contains numerous contraction knots and electrically active loci among normal fibers. A taut band of muscle fibers extends from the trigger point to the attachment (ATrP) at each end of the involved fiber. (Reproduced with permission from Simons DG, Travell JG, Simons LS.
