Knots, also called myofascial trigger points are described as hyperirritable spots in skeletal muscle that are associated with palpable nodules in taut bands of muscle fibers. Trigger point researchers believe that palpable nodules are small contraction knots and a common cause of pain. Compression of a trigger point may elicit local tenderness, referred pain, or local twitch response. The local twitch response is not the same as a muscle spasm. This is because a muscle spasm refers to the entire muscle entirely contracting whereas the local twitch response also refers to the entire muscle but only involves a small twitch, no contraction. The trigger point model states that unexplained pain frequently radiates from these points of local tenderness to broader areas, sometimes distant from the trigger point itself. Practitioners claim to have identified reliable referred pain patterns, allowing practitioners to associate pain in one location with trigger points elsewhere. Many chiropractors and massage therapists find the model useful in practice, but the medical community at large has not embraced trigger point therapy. Although trigger points do appear to be an observable phenomenon with defined properties, there is a lack of a consistent methodology for diagnosing trigger points[1] and a dearth of theory explaining how trigger points arise and why they produce specific referred pain patterns.

It's vertigo associated with stress?
According to 'SCIENCE LINKS IN JAPAN' website entitled 'INVOLVEMENT OF STRESS IN VERTIGO' the answer is yes it can be involved in the development of vertigo.I have suffersd from bouts of Benign positional vertigo for about 3 years and it is nearly always brought on whe i am stressed at work which in turn leads to insomnia,tiredness and then vertigo.My chiropracter has also suggested that muscular tension around my neck may affect the cervical vertebrae which in turnaffects the blood vessels also bringing on a bout of vertigo.Untreated the bouts may last up to 6 weeks but with medication in my case PROCHLORPERAZINE MALEATE(they make me drowsy),it clears up in 1 to 2 weeks.

Physical stress test for Sysco drivers?
I just did it and I found it to be very hard because all of the tasks are timed - what makes it hard is that they ask you do do something like hold a side plank or build a skid and they time you but you have no idea if you're doing well or not i.e. you could conceivably hold a side plank till your heart gives out and you die but at what point should you stop? till you are about to pass out?
There is definite reason to be worried about this test I'm pretty sure the main reason for it is to weed anyone out of getting into the union with any health issues at all - I don't think someone with diabetes or cancer or high blood pressure or a heavy smoker would be able to pass

A temperature change causes an expansion or a contraction of materials, some more than others. This is manifested as thermal strain. If the material is constrained however, so that it is not allowed to expand or contract, then a thermal stress must be induced to make the thermal strain equal to zero. So if the material would typically expand some epsilon1 under the given temperature change then a state of stress must be induced that results in a negative epsilon1 which can be accomplished knowing that stress is equal to strain times Young's modulus. There is likely no need to worry about shear strain, since it usually does not occur assuming you are dealing with an isotropic material.
