Abstract
Background: Myofascial trigger points are an extremely common cause of pain.
Purpose: Primarily to associate the presence of latent MTP in upper trapezius in individuals and their effect on cervical proprioception
Methods: 60 women, 20-35 years of age were assessed via a pressure algometer and cervical range of motion of motion machine
Results: It was found that the individuals with latent trigger points showed a higher deviation error than individuals without latent trigger points in Neutral Head Position test and Head Target Repositioning test which were found to be statistically significant.
Conclusion: On comparison, individuals with latent myofascial trigger points had a statistically significant difference in neutral head positioning error and head target repositioning error at the cervical spine.
