Objectives: To present a handy survey of the myofascial classification of the muscles according to their pain region in

function of their focus and radiation. With this survey the myofascial muscle chains can be consulted instantly.

Methods:

In function of the myofascial pain regions, per muscle, painfocus and radiation pain have been visually presented on the computer, based upon data out of the international myofascial literature. Out of these findings, for each myofascial region, primary (muscles that give focal pain) and secondary (muscles that give radiation pain) myofascial muscle chains were determined and charted.

Results: 1. Classification of the muscles divided into

61 pain regions according to focality and radiation.

2. Classification of the associated chains in dysfunction according to pain region. 3. Classification of the development of myofascial muscle chains departing from a well-defined muscle. 4. Classification of the myofascial muscle chains where a well-defined muscle occurs in the muscle chain of another muscle.

Conclusions:

The examiner or therapist can easily trace the myofascial dysfunctions with the help of a compact reference book (practical workbook). The progress of pain can be explained by the development of the myofascial - muscle chains and so there is a point of application to dissolve myofascial dysfunctions efficiently by means of these causal muscle chains.

Foreword

For the therapist who has to deal with a pain problem of the locomotor system there is an enormous amount of information available. Along with the "classical" orthopaedic approach, the manual, osteopathic or chiropractical vision, the electro magnetical therapies a.o. acupuncture etc., the Myofascial approach gains more and more importance. For a great number of therapists, Myofascial Therapy is the ideal completion of their other techniques.

This new book: "Myofascial Muscle Chains" is to be situated within the Myofascial Therapy. With impatience we have been looking forward to this book. It really fills up a gap in which the myofascial pain therapist will find practical information which cannot be

found anywhere at the moment.

How did this book come into existence? Why throw a book about Muscle Chains and more specifically Myofascial Muscle Chains on the market? The deeper roots of "Myofascial Muscle Chains" can naturally be found in the splendid basic work written by Travell and Simons: Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction: The Trigger Point Manual I and II. In this systematic work, Travell and Simons make mention of the fact that each

particular muscle has associated muscles. When active trigger points are found in one particular muscle, Travell discovered on

a clinical

basis that there

are

permanent connections between this muscle and other muscles. In practice this means that, when dealing with a pain problem, one muscle is found to be prominent, the associated muscles have to be checked and treated as well. Peter Jonckheere is

the principal

teacher

of

the highly

qualified course

of

"Myofascial Therapy" at the Jing Ming School in Flanders, Belgium. On the basis of his clinical practice and his intrrest in computer programs he went in search of

systems among these associated muscles and created the concept "Myofascial Muscle Chains" in the early 90ties.

With the help of his own ingeniously built-up schedule of muscles and the year-long clinical testing and debating with his students, this basic concept was gradually turned into what is lying now in front of you: a very handy workbook about clinically relevant links between muscles and their pain patterns. The manual is divided into 2 chapters: In the first chapter the therapist can start from the PAIN REGION. For this region all prominent muscles are presented into a schedule, together with

their associative chains. (The definitions of these chains can be found in an

introductory chapter). In this way the therapist immediately knows which main muscles he is dealing with.

In the second chapter the therapist can start from a MUSCLE. Which chains start from this muscle and which chains this muscle forms a part of? In that way surprising links between muscles of the same region occur. Links can also be made with more distant muscles. This knowledge can help the

treatment spectacularly.

The neurological segment per muscle is also mentioned: in that way the link between the relevant muscle chains and potenially primary dysfunctions in the vertebral column can be put more easily. Both authors are teachers at the Jing Ming School for "Myofascial Therapy" in Belgium.

Peter Jonckheere works as a physiotherapist in Bruges, is a pioneer of the Myofascial Therapy in Flanders, Belgium. He started the above training from scratch and is author of some basic works on MT.: 'Spieren en Dysfuncties, Trigger Punten,

Basisprincipes van de Myofasciale Therapie', Publ. SATAS and 'Pijn, u kunt er iets aan doen', Publ. SAT AS. Peter is vice-president of the Myofascial Therapists' Association and editor of

"Trigger Nieuws", the three-monthly magazine about MT.

Jan Pattyn works as a physiotherapist in Torhout, attended the training as a student of Peter's and some years ago he was qualified as a fellow-teacher. His enthusiasm and dynamism formed the start of their co-operation which resulted in the publishing of this manual in less than 1 year. As president of 'Trigger", ex-student and fellow teacher of the training and dedicated user and defender of the MT., I am convinced this manual is indispensable in the library of every pain therapist. Moreover, it deserves a place, within reach, to be

consulted easily, between two palpations or function tests, which, sadly enough, can not be said of a lot of manuals.

Introduction

Objectives To present a handy survey of the myofascial classification of the muscles according to their pain region

in function of their focus and radiation. With

this survey the myofascial muscle chains can be consulted instantly.

Methods In function of the myofascial pain regions, per muscle, painfocus and radiation pain have been visually presented on the computer, based upon data out of the international myofascial literature. Out of these findings, for each myofascial region, primary focal pain)

(muscles that give

and secondary (muscles that give radiation pain)

myofascial

muscle chains were determined and charted.

Results 1. Classification of the muscles

divided into 61 pain regions according to

focality and radiation. 2. Classification of the associated chains in dysfunction according to pain

region.

3. Classification of the development of myofascial muscle chains departing from a well-defined muscle.

4. Classification of the myofascial muscle chains where a well-defined muscle occurs in the muscle chain of another muscle.

Conclusions The examiner or therapist can easily trace the myofascial dysfunctions with the help of a compact reference book (practical workbook). The progress of pain can be explained by the development of the myofascial muscle chains and so there is a point of application

to dissolve myofascial

efficiently by means of these causal muscle chains.

dysfunctions

Chapter 1 Practical working-method

Myofascial therapy treats, by means of trigger points, pains that are caused by the malfunctioning of muscles. The purpose of this work is to present a handy survey of the myofascial classification of the muscles according to their pain region, in function of focus and radiation. This survey enables the user to consult the myofascial muscle chains instantly.

Procedure chapter 4 region

muscle chains according to their pain

PURPOSE: searching the main muscles starting from the pain region indicated by the patient. We argue horizontally. How do we determine which muscles are responsable for pain in a certain region? We start from a specific pain region, indicated by the patient Per pain region you get a survey of the primary and secondary muscle chains minimum 3 muscles that cause focal pain.

•

primary m uscle chain

•

secondary m uscle chain

=

=

minimum 3 that cause referred pain.

e.g. patient complains of pain in the neck.

pain focus

referred pain

Splenius Cervicis (UTP) Levator Scapulae Multifidus (neck) Trapezius (TP1 ,2,3)

Infraspinatus (Upper 2TPs) Sternocleidomastoideus (sternal) Suboccipital

Out of this schedule we immediately read there are 4 muscles that cause focal pain in the neck. By means of algometries (see chapter 2) we can determine which of these muscles contain an active trigger point. active TP

=

TP that provokes the recognizable pain when palpated.

2

An association m uscle chain can start from each muscle with an active TP out of the primary muscle chain. •

association m uscle chain

=

a muscle chain that only consists of muscles that

from their muscle in dysfunction develop TPs in associated muscles.

Example 1

:

our patient with pain in the neck shows an active TP in the M. Multifidus

Multifidus

Levator Scapulae Semispinalis Capitis Semispinalis Cervicis Sternocleidomastoideus Splenius Cervi cis

This schedule shows that the M.Multifidus has 5 associative muscles.

Which of these 5 associative muscles also cause focal or referred pain? Multifidus(neck)

In our example the 2 above-mentioned muscles are the only ones that cause focal pain in the neck. We speak of a primary association chain. We neglect the M.Sternocieidomastoideus because this muscle only causes radiation pain for the neck and therefore cannot be fitted into the primary association chain. In this book we only sum up the sheer primary and secondary association chains in function of each pain region. Example 2

:

our patient with pain in the neck shows an active TP in the M. Splenius Cervicus.

Splenius Cervicis

Sternocleidomastoideus Trapezius Splenius Capitis Suboccipital

This schedule shows the M. Splenius Cervicus contains 4 associative muscles. Which of these 4 associative muscles also cause focal or radiation pain?

Splenius Cervicis

In our example only the 2 above-mentioned muscles. Since both cause merely radiation pain, we can speak of a secondary association chain. For the same reason the M. Trapezius does not belong here. In this chapter we have determined which muscles are myofascially involved in a certain pain region . When we want to go further into this matter, we consult chapter 5 : the muscle chains of each particular muscle. In that way we can put the links to other pain regions.

PURPOSE: Finding the links (possibly to other pain regions) starting from the muscle that is already defined.

The working-method is vertical. We start from a muscle in dysfunction , as defined in chapter 3. e.g. a dysfunction of the M. Trapezius. Chains starting from the Trapezius

We give a catalogue of the muscles associated with the M. Trapezius. associated muscles (according to Travell & Simons)

Chains in which Trapezius is involved

Dealing with a chronological complaint in which different pain regions are involved, you don't always find the solution to the problem, because already several muscle chains have developed and succeeded one another. To go back to the initial muscle chain we have to proceed in a reversed order . We can do this by looking in which chain of another muscle the Trapezius occurs. The scheme below shows the muscle of which the Trapezius is an associative muscle. Supraspinatus associated muscles (according to Travell & Rhomboideus Major Rhomboideus Minor Simons) Pectoralis Major Scalenus Temporalis Suboccipital Sternocleidomastoideus Splenius Cervicis Splenius Capitis Biceps Brachii We schedule all the different associative chains which the M. Trapezius occurs in.We make three columns. Firstly, the muscle out of which the associative chain starts. In the second column, the likely involved pain region and in the third column the actual associative chain which the M. Trapezius occurs in.

Chapter 2 Definitions

Myofascia/ Muscle Chains Conditions: •

the presence of at least 3 muscles

•

the presence of at least 1 TP per muscle involved

•

the presence of at least 1 active TP in the chain

Kinds:

Direct myofasciaJ muscle chain Collection of muscles that, in dysfunction,can cause pain, for a well-defined region. Primary direct myofascia/ muscle chain

Collection only of muscles that , in dysfunction, for a well-defined region, can cause FOCAL PAIN.

Secondary direct myofascia/ muscle chain

Collection of muscles that, in dysfunction, can cause not merely focal but referred pain as well.

MyofasciaJ Associative muscle chain Collection of muscles that starting from their muscle in dysfunction develop associative TPs in other muscles.

Trigger Point A self-maintaining hyper-irritable spot in a skeleton muscle or its associated fascia.

Active Trigger Point A very sensitive spot that , when palpated, causes an identifiable pain that totally or partly agrees with the pain track of the muscle in dysfunction.

Latent Trigger Point A spot that causes local pain only when palpated.

False Positive Trigger Point A spot that causes referred pain: or:

- not in accordance with the identifiable pain

or:

- in accordance with the specific track for this trigger point but with an algometric score higher than the MPI

Chapter 3 Algometries

Purpose The purpose of algometrics is to define whether a TP is active, latent, falsely positive or absent.This knowledge is based on the most recent data from the American study: "PressureThreshold for referred pain by compression on the trigger point and adjacent area." (Chang-Zern Hong, Yuh-Ning Chen, Debra, Twehous, Dennis H. Hong. Journal of Musculoskeletal Pain.)

Myofascial Pain Index (MPI) Pain is subjective. To get an idea by means of algometrics of the pain the patient experiences , we must be able to make an objective evaluation. By means of the calculation of a myofascial pain index we can estimate objectively the value of the pain the patient can bear. The MPI is calculated by measurements on the 18 Tender Points with the Algoprobe® . The Algoprobe®

is an

electric algometer

MPI

is

,

The trigger point research is linked to the MPI and evaluated in that way in function of the individual pain threshold of each patient.

These are the locations of the Tender Points we have to measure :

1.

occiput : at the insertions of the Suboccipital muscles.

2.

lower cervical: at the anterolateral aspect of C5-C6

3.

edge of trapezius: in the middle of the shoulder

4. supraspinatus: the fossa supraspinatus at the medium edge of the scapula 5.

second rib: up lateral at the sterno-costal junction

6.

lateral epicondyl: 2 cm distal of the epicondyl

7.

knee: at the medium fleshy thickness proximal of the jOint

8. major trochanter: posterior of the prominentia trochanterica 9. gluteal: in the upper lateral quadrant anterior The MPI is the average pressure that is measured at these 18 Tender point locations (9 right - 9 left) =>

18 values have to be registered by pressure with the probe

=>

The MPI is simply the average value measured at the Tender Points.

Here comes an example how the MPI is calculated.

The calculation of an individual MPI is essential for the following reasons:

I.

pain is subjective and has to be assessed objectively and individually.

2. when, as in the example above, a palpation pressure of 2 kg is used, a lot of muscle indications will be missed, as for this person too little pressure is given. When, on the other hand, a palpation pressure of 6 kg is used, this is too high for this person and a lot of false positive results will be registered. 3.

when

diagnosing myofascial dysfunctions, this MPI is determining whether we

are dealing with active TPs, latent TPs or with False positive TPs. This information is essential as to stipulate the way of treatment.

Myofascial dysfunctions In function of the pain region

(dr. Chapter 4) and the already determined MPI we

measure the Trigger Points that are considered. In function of the individual pain index we can automatically read whether a Trigger Point is active, latent or falsely positive. A TP is active when it has a lower score than the MPI and is attended with the typical referred pain . A TP is latent with a lower score than the MPI but without radiation. A TP is falsely positive when it has referred pain with a score higher than the MPI or when the patient experiences a non-recognizable referred pain with a score lower than the MPI.

Conclusions. It is useless to apply algometrics without determining a Myofascial Pain Index. The interpretation of the measurements can only be objectified in function of the patient himself.
