Chemical and nutrition factors often implicated d. Exquisite tenderness 120. Which is the correct pairing of fascia and its associated level of muscle tissue? a. Endomysium: Entire muscle a.

Active tissue release is a leading cause of injury and has been outlawed in most states 124. What have scientists found regarding EMG examination of trigger points? a. EMG studies have concluded that trigger points are imagined and don’t actually exist b. EMG exams show a high correlation between areas of perceived tenderness and tightness c. EMG studies were discontinued in 2010 because of excessive errors d. EMG studies usually conflict with therapist palpation in identifying the location of muscle hypertonicity 125. All of these conditions have been associated with trigger points except: a. Headaches b. Back pain c. Restricted movement d. Fractures 126. Which statement best explains the relationship between trigger points and acupressure points? a. They are quite distinct, but some studies have shown a statistical correlation b.
