Dissertation note: Thesis (M.Sc.) - Cairo University - Faculty of Physical Therapy - Department of Basic Science Summary: A considerable variation exists in clinical practice and across research studies with regards to the amount of pressure applied during ischemic compression. Therefore, an objective device, such as the algometer, may be effective in applying consistent pressure. Such device would be expected to establish a solid ground for measuring the intensity of pressure perceived by the patient and also help therapists avoiding work related injuries associated with manual techniques. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the immediate effect of quantitative compression technique using Algometer; as a novel and a quantitative trigger point therapy method Conclusions: Quantitative ischemic compression by algometer may be a better technique than manual ischemic compression in treating myofascial trigger points of upper trapezius. Quantitative method guides the therapist with an objective feedback for the applied treatment and patient's improvement
