| Muscle Pattern Recognition (MPR) The MPR System is a unique clinical tool that uses the principles of Pattern Recognition to analyze muscle function in patients presenting with back pain. MPR analyzes patterns of muscle recruitment - the engagement of muscles in order to perform specific body movements - and provides detailed, objective physiological information on muscle function that can assist in the diagnosis and treatment of back and neck injuries and illness. The results of an MPR test are presented in a comprehensive report that provides detailed information on muscle function incorporating site, nature and severity of dysfunction. Clinical trials of the MPR System are currently underway at Salt Lake City, UT and will expand to Southern California in the fall of 2009.. The goal of the studies is to demonstrate that the MPR System can differentiate normal from abnormal biomechanical function in a population suffering from neck or back pain. |
