Provide a definition and technique for finding each of the following points: (a) electrical acupuncture, (b) motor, and (c) trigger
What will be an ideal response?
(a) An electrical acupuncture point is an area with decreased resistance to the flow of electrical current. These points can be found by probing with an electrode in areas that create the strongest nonnoxious stimulation at a sensory intensity.
(b) A motor point is an area on a muscle with the richest amount of innervation from its motor nerve. This point corresponds to the muscle belly and can be found by probing the muscle for the strongest muscle contraction during motor intensity stimulation.
(c) A trigger point is an area that elicits the highest level of pain when probing with a noxious but tolerable level of stimulation.
