Reliability and responsiveness of a tissue hardness meter and algometer for measuring tissue hardness and pressure pain threshold in upper trapezius myofascial trigger points

Background Tissue hardness meter and algometer (THA) are used to assess tissue hardness (TH) and pressure pain threshold (PPT), particularly in the evaluation of myofascial trigger points (MTrPs). This study introduces a side-lying protocol designed to comprehensively measure all portions of the upp...
