From: Myofascial trigger point (MTrP) size and elasticity properties can be used to differentiate characteristics of MTrPs in lower back skeletal muscle

Figure 5

Comparison of one and two MTrPs within an US image region: (A) Comparison of strain for a single MTrP and two MTrP data. Single MTrPs are uncorrected, while two MTrP data is corrected for longitudinal distance. (B) Calculated Young’s modulus for single MTrP and two MTrPs. All data corrected for depth and distance from applied force. Means ± SEM; statistical tests are two-tailed t-test; Nsingle = 54; Ntwo = 28.
