Presence of Latent Myofascial Trigger Points and Determination of Pressure Pain Thresholds of the Shoulder Girdle in Healthy Children and Young Adults: A Cross-sectional Study

Healthy children have fewer LTPs and lower PPTs in the shoulder girdle than healthy adults. A relationship was observed between sensitivity to pressure and the presence of LTPs in adults, in whom lower PPT was associated with more LTPs. This relationship was not detected in children.
