BACKGROUND
Myofascial Trigger points (MTrPs) may be caused or aggravated by many factors, such as mental stress associated with exams and impaired posture.
AIM
To compare the prevalence and sensitivity of MTrPs, and forward head position (FHP) during exam period vs. mid-semester among physical therapy students.
METHODS
39 physical therapy students were palpated for MTrPs in neck and shoulder muscles and were photographed laterally for FHP measurement during the academic semester and during the academic examination period.
RESULTS
The subjects showed higher prevalence of active MTrPs in the right Trapezius and Levator Scapula muscles, and higher prevalence of latent MTrPs in the left Sternocleidomastoideus and Levator Scapula muscles during exams, as well as a higher rate of tenderness in suboccipital musculature.
CONCLUSIONS
Physical therapy students show greater prevalence of MTrPs during exams. The authors recommend implementing preventative programs towards the examination period.
背景
肌筋膜触发点（MTrPs）可能由多种因素引起或加重，如与考试相关的精神压力和不良姿势。
目的
比较物理治疗专业学生考试期间与学期中期肌筋膜触发点的患病率和敏感性，以及头部前倾姿势（FHP）。
方法
在学术学期和学术考试期间，对39名物理治疗专业学生的颈部和肩部肌肉进行肌筋膜触发点触诊，并拍摄侧面照片以测量头部前倾姿势。
结果
受试者在考试期间右侧斜方肌和肩胛提肌中活动性肌筋膜触发点的患病率较高，左侧胸锁乳突肌和肩胛提肌中潜伏性肌筋膜触发点的患病率较高，枕下肌肉的压痛率也较高。
结论
物理治疗专业学生在考试期间肌筋膜触发点的患病率更高。作者建议在考试期间实施预防方案。
