Figure 1

Localization of MTrPs using vibration elastography. (a) An external massager generates shear waves that propagate through the muscle. (b) Hypoechoic areas (MTrPs) in B-mode image are observed to be vibrating less than the surrounding muscle in color variance image.

MTrPs = myofascial trigger points.
