METHOD FOR DIAGNOSIS OF MYOFASCIAL DYSFUNCTION IN CHILDREN WITH PAROXYSMAL AUTONOMIC FAILURE AFFECTED BY CERVICAL SPINE DISORDER

摘要

A method for diagnosis of myofascial dysfunction in children with paroxysmal autonomic failure affected by cervical spine disorder, comprising determining the state of trapezius and sternocleidomastoid muscles. A tension in neck and shoulder girdle muscles on one or two sides is evoked by palpation, 2-3 trigger points are formed therein, using electromyography, asymmetric changes in the activity of said muscles are defined, most often on the right side, and also decompensated muscular changes are revealed that are caused by prolonged disease course (1 to 6 years), which in turn contributed to the formation of torticollis on the same side.
