Objective.
To analyse the effect of the manual ischemic compression (IC) on the upper limb motor performance (MP) in patients with LTrPs.
Materials and Methods.
A quasiexperimental study was performed in twenty subjects allocated to either patients group with LTrPs (PG, n=10) or healthy group with no symptoms (HG, n=10).
Subjective pain and linear MP (movement time and Fitts’ Law) were assessed before and after a linear tapping task.
Data were analysed with mixed factorial ANOVA for intergroup linear motor performance differences and dependent t-student test for intragroup pain differences.
Results.
PG had a linear MP lower than the HG before treatment (p < 0.05).
After IC, the PG showed a significant decrease of pain (4.07 ± 1.91 p < 0.001).
Furthermore, the movement time (15.70 ± 2.05 p < 0.001) and the Fitts’ Law coefficient (0.80 ± 0.53 p < 0.001) were significantly reduced.
However, one IC session did not allow the PG to get the same MP than the HG (p < 0.05).
Conclusion.
The results suggest the IC effectiveness on pain and MP impairment in subjects with LTrPs.
However, the MP of these patients is only partially improved after the IC application.
