There is still lack of objective means to quantify myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) and their core features. Was to compare between MTrPs and their immediate surrounding myofascial tissue by the real-time 2 dimensional grey scale ultrasound and vibration sonoelastrography (VSE), and to compare the accuracies of both these modes in visualizing MTrPs
