This document summarizes a presentation on myofascial web and fibromyalgia. It discusses how fibromyalgia pain is generated from hypersensitive central nervous system processing and muscle tissue. Fascia, the connective tissue surrounding muscles, plays an important role as it becomes inflamed, tense and prone to "knotting up" in the form of myofascial trigger points in fibromyalgia patients. Treatments discussed include myofascial release therapy, trigger point injections, and self-care. A study found myofascial release therapy significantly improved fibromyalgia pain and tender points and the effects persisted over time compared to sham ultrasound. Another study found patients receiving myofascial release therapy experienced greater improvements in a fibromyalgia impact questionnaire than those receiving massage.

Myofascial release-presentation
Myofascial Release is a hands-on technique that works to release restrictions in the fascia, which is connective tissue throughout the body, in order to restore blocked energy flow and relieve pain. Physical and psychological trauma can cause the fascia to restrict and exert pressure on nerves and tissues. By applying gentle sustained pressure, the therapist uses the piezoelectric property of fascia to create an electrical current and rehydrate the tissue, allowing it to release restrictions and return to its healthy state.
Myofascial release therapy
Myofascial Release is the release of connective tissue around muscle fibre. Through very effective hands-on techniques, the Aliyah Massage Therapist provides sustained pressure into myofascial restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion. This allows the connective tissue fibres to reorganize themselves in a more flexible and functional fashion.

This document provides information about myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) and myofascial trigger points. It discusses the characteristics of trigger points, including focal tenderness, reproduction of pain on palpation, muscle hardening, referred pain, and limited range of motion. The document also outlines various activating mechanisms for trigger points, characteristics of myofascial release therapy, conditions it can help treat, its proposed mechanisms of action including phase transition and resonance, and two anecdotal examples of its effectiveness in reducing pain and facilitating healing.
Myofacial Release Therapy(MFR).
Myofascial release refers to the manual
technique for stretching the fascia and
releasing bonds between fascia and
Lintegument, musles,and bones, with the goal of
eliminating pain, increasing range of motion
and balancing the body.

Myofascial release review
Myofascial release is a manual therapy technique that aims to relax and elongate the fascia through slow, sustained pressure. Fascia is the connective tissue that surrounds and connects muscles, bones, and organs. Injuries, immobilization, and aging can cause fascial adhesions or restrictions that impair movement. Myofascial release techniques like crosshand strokes, skin rolling, and deep tissue stroking apply moderate pressure to "creep" or elongate the fascia and increase range of motion. It can help remove waste from injuries and is often used with other treatments like exercise. Precautions include acute injuries or conditions affecting the skin, blood vessels, or nerves.
Fascial Manipulation - Warren I. Hammer
The document discusses fascial manipulation, a soft tissue technique that addresses myofascial restrictions. It provides background on the evolution of concepts leading to fascial manipulation, including influences from trigger point therapy and acupuncture. The document also discusses the anatomical basis of myofascial sequences and chains, which involve fascial planes connecting muscles. Restrictions in these fascial planes can alter proprioception and motor coordination, potentially causing pain. Fascial manipulation aims to restore the natural sliding of fascia and normalize motor unit recruitment.

Myofascial pain syndrome and the effects of self myofascial
Myofascial pain syndrome is a chronic condition that causes pain and inflammation in the body's soft tissues. It accounts for around 85% of most people's pain and is caused by tightening of the fascial system due to repetitive movements or injury. Myofascial trigger points are hypersensitive areas within muscles that can cause pain or referred pain elsewhere. Self-myofascial release using foam rollers helps to break up adhesions in the fascia and elongate and soften connective tissues, providing pain relief and improved flexibility and movement. Specific foam rolling techniques are demonstrated to target key muscle groups like the hips, quads, hamstrings, and low back.

Mayofacial release technique
This document discusses myofascial pain syndrome (MPS), also known as chronic myofascial pain. MPS is characterized by chronic pain caused by multiple trigger points and fascial constrictions. Fascia is a layer of fibrous tissue that surrounds muscles, bones, blood vessels and nerves. Trigger points in fascia can cause focal tenderness and referred pain patterns. Myofascial release techniques aim to relax contracted muscles and stimulate the stretch reflex by applying sustained pressure to fascial restrictions to allow the tissue to elongate. MPS is a common cause of chronic pain that can be treated through myofascial release.
Myofascial pain and dysfunction
This is my current baby. I have always been interested in personal health, and I am currently working on becoming NASM CPT certified (I've passed practice tests, I just need to set aside a few weeks to actually take the real thing). TrP are a topic of health that has always been an interest of mine, and when training people, or looking after my own health, I would like to incorporate clinical Myofascial dysfunction treatment in my and others workouts. I decided to go straight to the golden source, and I have slowly but surely been going over the Travell Trigger Point Manual over the previous few months, painstakingly notating all information I consider to be important. I plan on finishing this project in particular by mid-2018, and hope that I can help others identify any myofascial pain and stay healthy in their own personal lives :)

Myofascial Pain Syndrome
Cervical myofascial pain syndrome is a chronic pain condition caused by trigger points in the neck muscles. It is characterized by pain referred from hyperirritable spots in tight bands of muscle fibers. Common causes include overuse, trauma, poor posture, or acute/chronic muscle overload. Treatment aims to prevent chronicity through prompt care that addresses compensatory muscle patterns. The condition is prevalent, affecting up to 21% of orthopedic patients and 85-93% of pain management patients, predominately impacting women and increasing in frequency with age until midlife.

Myofascial Pain and Trigger Points By: Brooke Petho (Grand Valley State Univ...Erik Nason MBA, MS, ATC, LAT, CSCS
This document discusses myofascial pain and trigger points (TrPs). It defines myofascial pain as pain caused by hypersensitive areas in the fascia surrounding muscles that can cause referred pain. Trigger points are identified as localized knots within tightened bands of muscle that produce referred pain. The document provides information on causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment techniques for myofascial pain such as stretching, massage, and trigger point injections, as well as guidelines for prevention.Fascial Manipulation
This document discusses fascia and the Fascial Manipulation method. It defines fascia as a continuous connective tissue that surrounds and connects all organs, bones, muscles, nerves, and blood vessels. Fascia contains hyaluronic acid, which increases viscosity and is innervated by mechanoreceptors. The Fascial Manipulation method treats myofascial units which include motor units, joints, nerves, blood vessels and connecting fascia. Treatment involves manipulating fascia at centers of coordination to improve tissue sliding and mobility, reducing pain perceptions. Research shows Fascial Manipulation improves elasticity and is effective for chronic pain when performed by highly trained professionals.
Myofascial Pain Syndrome
Myofascial pain syndrome is a condition that affects the fascia and causes regional pain. It is characterized by the presence of trigger points, which are hyperirritable points within tightened bands of muscle. Trigger points can be active, causing local or referred pain, or latent with the potential to become active. They are activated by overuse, trauma, poor posture, or other medical conditions and can perpetuate through nutritional deficiencies, hormones, infections, allergies, or lack of oxygenation. Treatments include stretching, heat therapy, dry needling, ultrasound, electrical stimulation, massage, acupuncture, and medications like analgesics or muscle relaxants. Exercises are also important for strengthening and conditioning muscles as trigger points are inactivated

Referral pain and phantom pain
1. Referred pain is pain perceived in a location other than where the painful stimulus originated. Common examples include pain from a heart attack referring to the left arm.
2. There are several proposed theories to explain referred pain, including axon reflex theory of shared nerve fibers and convergence-projection theory of shared spinal pathways. More recent theories involve central sensitization in the spinal cord.
3. Phantom limb pain refers to painful sensations felt in an amputated or missing limb. Approximately 60-80% of amputees report phantom limb sensations, with most being painful. Treatment is challenging but may involve drugs, nerve blocks, or spinal/brain stimulation in difficult cases.

Muscle pain mechanism
Muscle pain occurs through the activation of muscle nociceptors by mechanical and chemical stimuli. During ischemia or low pH conditions, chemicals like ATP and protons are released activating nociceptors. Muscle spasms can develop through ischemia reducing blood flow, releasing pain-causing substances, and sensitizing nociceptors. Chronic work-related myalgia may occur through energy depletion in small muscle fibers and impaired blood flow due to sympathetic activation during exertion.
Trigger point injection
Trigger points are commonly seen in patients with myofascial pain which is responsible for localized
pain in the affected muscles as well as referred pain patterns. Correct needle placement in a
myofascial trigger point is vital to prevent complications and improve efficacy of the trigger point
injection to help reduce or relieve myofascial pain
Office based ultrasound-guided injection techniques for musculoskeletal
disorders have been described in the literature with regard to tendon, bursa, cystic, and
joint pathologies. For the interventionalist, utilizing ultrasound yields multiple advantages technically
and practically, including observation of needle placement in real-time, ability to perform
dynamic studies, the possibility of diagnosing musculoskeletal pathologies, avoidance of radiation
exposure, reduced overall cost, and portability of equipment within the office setting.

This document discusses neurodynamic treatment techniques for the mechanical interface and neural components of the nervous system. It describes openers and closers to produce opening and closing actions around neural tissue. Slider and tensioner techniques are also explained to induce sliding and tension within neural tissue. Guidelines are provided for applying each technique, including when to use them, appropriate dosages, and progressing treatments away from or toward the source of pain. The goal is to address neuropathodynamic dysfunctions through specific movements and positions of the limbs and spine.
Positional Release Therapy
This document discusses the functional model approach to treating musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. It views the body as an integrated system where trauma can cause fascial tension and tender points. Treatment involves identifying tender points, positioning the body in comfort to reduce irritability, and holding that position to allow neuromuscular and fascial release. The goal is to normalize tissue balance, reduce pain and spasm, and restore proper movement and function through a phased approach.

This document summarizes Blaschko lines, which describe the developmental growth patterns of the skin seen in certain dermatological conditions. It notes that in 1901, Alfred Blaschko described lines that did not correspond to vascular, nervous, or lymphatic patterns. The lines follow patterns of ectodermal migration and proliferation from the neural crest during embryogenesis. Common line patterns include V-shapes on the back and neck, S-shapes on the lateral trunk, and inverted U-shapes in the breast area. The causes of Blaschko lines are thought to involve inborn errors of morphogenesis or stretching of the skin during embryogenesis.

Microstomia, characterized by an abnormally small oral aperture, presents significant challenges in prosthodontic treatment, including limited access for examination, difficulties in impression making, and challenges with prosthesis insertion and removal. To manage these issues, customized impression techniques using sectional trays and elastomeric materials are employed. Prostheses may be designed in segments or with flexible materials to facilitate handling. Minimally invasive procedures and the use of digital technologies can enhance patient comfort. Education and training for patients on prosthesis care and maintenance are crucial for compliance. Regular follow-up and a multidisciplinary approach, involving collaboration with other specialists, ensure comprehensive care and improved quality of life for microstomia patients.

CONDUCTION SYSTEM OF THE HEART
ECG:
●ECG is a graphic record of the electrical activity of the heart.
●Electrical activity precedes the mechanical activity of the heart.
●Electrical activity has two phases:
Depolarization- contraction of muscle
Repolarization- relaxation of muscle
ECG Leads:
●6 Chest leads
●6 Limb leads
1. Bipolar Limb Leads:
Lead 1- Between right arm(-ve) and left arm(+ve)
Lead 2- Between right arm(-ve) and left leg(+ve)
Lead 3- Between left arm(-ve)
and left leg(+ve)
2. Augmented unipolar Limb Leads:
AvR- Right arm
AvL- Left arm
AvF- Left leg
3.Chest Leads:
V1 : Over 4th intercostal
space near right sternal margin
V2: Over 4th intercostal space near left sternal margin
V3:In between V2 and V4
V4:Over left 5th intercostal space on the mid
clavicular line
V5:Over left 5th intercostal space on the anterior
axillary line
V6:Over left 5th intercostal space on the mid
axillary line.
Normal ECG:
Waves of ECG:
P Wave
•P Wave is a positive wave and the first wave in ECG.
•It is also called as atrial complex.
Cause: Atrial depolarisation
Duration: 0.1 sec
QRS Complex:
•QRS’ complex is also called the initial ventricular complex.
•‘Q’ wave is a small negative wave. It is continued as the tall ‘R’ wave, which is a positive wave.
‘R’ wave is followed by a small negative wave, the ‘S’ wave.
Cause:Ventricular depolarization and atrial repolarization
Duration: 0.08- 0.10 sec
T Wave:
•‘T’ wave is the final ventricular complex and is a positive wave.
Cause:Ventricular repolarization Duration: 0.2 sec
Intervals and Segments of ECG:
P-R Interval:
•‘P-R’ interval is the interval
between the onset of ‘P’wave and onset of ‘Q’ wave.
•‘P-R’ interval cause atrial depolarization and conduction of impulses through AV node.
Duration:0.18 (0.12 to 0.2) sec
Q-T Interval:
•‘Q-T’ interval is the interval between the onset of ‘Q’
wave and the end of ‘T’ wave.
•‘Q-T’ interval indicates the ventricular depolarization
and ventricular repolarization,
i.e. it signifies the
electrical activity in ventricles.
Duration:0.4-0.42sec
S-T Segment:
•‘S-T’ segment is the time interval between the end of ‘S’ wave and the onset of ‘T’ wave.
Duration: 0.08 sec
R-R Interval:
•‘R-R’ interval is the time interval between two consecutive ‘R’ waves.
•It signifies the duration of one cardiac cycle.
Duration: 0.8 sec
Dimension of ECG:
How to find heart rhytm of the heart?
Regular rhytm:
Irregular rhytm:
More than or less than 4
How to find heart rate using ECG?
If heart Rhytm is Regular :
Heart rate =
300/No.of large b/w 2 QRS complex
= 300/4
=75 beats/mins
How to find heart rate using ECG?
If heart Rhytm is irregular:
Heart rate = 10×No.of QRS complex in 6 sec 5large box = 1sec
5×6=30
10×7 = 70 Beats/min
Abnormalities of ECG:
Cardiac Arrythmias:
1.Tachycardia
Heart Rate more than 100 beats/min

The Ultimate Guide in Setting Up Market Research System in Health-Tech
How to effectively start market research in the health tech industry by defining objectives, crafting problem statements, selecting methods, identifying data collection sources, and setting clear timelines. This guide covers all the preliminary steps needed to lay a strong foundation for your research.
"Market Research it too text-booky, I am in the market for a decade, I am living research book" this is what the founder I met on the event claimed, few of my colleagues rolled their eyes. Its true that one cannot over look the real life experience, but one cannot out beat structured gold mine of market research.
Many 0 to 1 startup founders often overlook market research, but this critical step can make or break a venture, especially in health tech.
But Why do they skip it?
Limited resources—time, money, and manpower—are common culprits.
"In fact, a survey by CB Insights found that 42% of startups fail due to no market need, which is like building a spaceship to Mars only to realise you forgot the fuel."
Sudharsan Srinivasan
Operational Partner Pitchworks VC Studio
Overconfidence in their product’s success leads founders to assume it will naturally find its market, especially in health tech where patient needs, entire system issues and regulatory requirements are as complex as trying to perform brain surgery with a butter knife. Additionally, the pressure to launch quickly and the belief in their own intuition further contribute to this oversight. Yet, thorough market research in health tech could be the key to transforming a startup's vision into a life-saving reality, instead of a medical mishap waiting to happen.
Example of Market Research working
Innovaccer, founded by Abhinav Shashank in 2014, focuses on improving healthcare delivery through data-driven insights and interoperability solutions. Before launching their platform, Innovaccer conducted extensive market research to understand the challenges faced by healthcare organizations and the potential for innovation in healthcare IT.
Identifying Pain Points: Innovaccer surveyed healthcare providers to understand their difficulties with data integration, care coordination, and patient engagement. They found widespread frustration with siloed systems and inefficient workflows.
Competitive Analysis: Analyzed competitors offering similar solutions in healthcare analytics and interoperability. Identified gaps in comprehensive data aggregation, real-time analytics, and actionable insights.
Regulatory Compliance: Ensured their platform complied with HIPAA and other healthcare data privacy regulations. This compliance was crucial to gaining trust from healthcare providers wary of data security issues.
Customer Validation: Conducted pilot programs with several healthcare organizations to validate the platform's effectiveness in improving care outcomes and operational efficiency. Gathered feedback to refine features and user interface.
