Myofascial pain is defined as pain that originates from myofascial trigger points in skeletal muscle. It is prevalent in regional musculoskeletal pain syndromes, either alone or in combination with other pain generators. The appropriate evaluation and management of myofascial pain is an important part of musculoskeletal rehabilitation of regional axial and limb pain syndromes. This article reviews the current hypotheses regarding the pathophysiology of myofascial trigger points and muscle pain. A critical evidence-based review of the pharmacologic, nonpharmacologic, alternative medicine, and exercise treatments of myofascial pain is provided, as well as future research directions.

Note that this list includes ereaders with E Ink screens only.In many cases you can get an iPad or other tablet for less with a lot more features than a simple ebook reader, so it just depends on what you’re looking for and how much you want to spend.Given the format, the best ereaders for PDFs are the ones with larger screens.You can use a small 6-inch Kindle for PDFs, and it works pretty well in landscape mode, but if you want an ereader primarily for PDFs a larger screen is the better way to go. The Best eReaders for PDFs– Onyx offers several large screen ebook readers, including the 10.3-inch and the 13.3-inch, and there are some other options as well, including the with a frontlight. Onyx’s PDF software is the most advanced of any ereaders, and their Android OS open to install apps.– The 13.3-inch Sony DPT-RP1 Digital Paper device is a good option for reading PDFs, along with its smaller brother, the 10.3-inch.

The hardware is exceptional and the software is quick and responsive, although it does lack some basic navigation features, like table of contents support and the ability to go back. The supports PDF format only so it’s rather limited functionally, but it also doubles as a digital notepad with the included stylus pen.– If you want a small and cheap ereader for PDFs, the most economical option is the Kindle Paperwhite 3. Amazon’s PDF software is the same on all Kindles, and all but the entry-level model have 300 ppi screens, so they’re mostly the same, but the is the best value for an inexpensive PDF reader, as it offers more PDF features than other brands like Kobo and Nook. The Kindle Oasis 2 has a slightly larger 7-inch screen but it’s not large enough to make a difference. Other Options for PDF eReaders– The 7.8-inch Kobo Aura One is another possible option, but the stock software is too basic. You can install KOReader to add a bunch of additional features, but it’s kind of a hassle to deal with and the Aura One’s screen size really isn’t big enough—it’s not significantly better than a 6-inch ereader when it comes to displaying PDFs.– Some people ask about the Remarkable in regards to PDFs but I don’t consider it a viable option because the software is only half-finished. It’s more of a digital notepad than an ereader.

If they ever update the software to add more ereading features it might be a decent option but considering the high price it’s hard to imagine it ever being a better choice than Sony or Onyx. I’m curious why PDF gets so much attention on ereader blogs and reviews. Your reviews in particular give it a lot of attention, as do some others.Do people use ereaders much for PDF? It seems unlikely to me although I tend to avoid PDF even on a PC for most purposes so I’m probably not the best judge of that.I have tried PDF on a Kindle with poor results. It was a book I bought from one of those conversion services a couple of years ago. It didn’t quite fit the page and it was way too much trouble to read it.Or are these discussions more hopeful than realistic?Barry.

Nathan is spot on. Many people might not need PDFs but there are quite a few people that do. I can give a lot of examples where mobi and e-pub just don’t work very well — it’s basically with documents and books that have a lot of illustrations, graphics, tables, and charts etcFor example a math book and other educational and reference books that use graphics, charts, illustrations, etcOne of my biggest uses for PDFs — is I play a lot of role playing games and the rule books and supplements for the games are normally available in PDF (DriveThruRPG.com, etc)– For these types of books and manuals PDF works the best. The tables, illustrations, charts, etc are so critical to these documents — that e-pub and mobi are essentially non-options for these types of documents.This is also where a large e-reader works best for PDFs — ideally you want to be able to see an entire PDF page on the screen, and for it to be large enough that you can read it easily. П™‚e-pub ad mobi are great formats for novels and documents that are primarily “text”, but they are not good formats for documents that have lots of graphics and tables.For some of us the ability to read PDFs is huge!. I can answer that for you. All of my reading falls in two categories: books (fiction/non-fiction) what have you, and papers, as in the kind that gets accepted by conferences.

For the latter use-case, there are almost always only PDFs available. Their formatting might be non-standard and these may have tables, figures, mathematical equations — which makes it hard to obtain an automatic high-fidelity conversation into a ebook format proper. It’s for this reason PDF reviews are very helpful for me – and for others with similar interests. Yes, it’s the main concern for many people that don’t just read for leisure, but also for work/study. For them, it’s not only about casual reading some best selling book you get from Amazon, but about being able to read all the papers (as in articles), scanned books, textbooks etc. And because people who need to read pdfs are people who read it for work/study, so they also read it A LOT (like at least 4-6 hr/day). Therefore, a eco-friendly eyes-friendly e-ink reader is an ideal option for these people–on paper, until they find out all the e-readers on the market right now do a very lousy job in reading pdfs.

So in short, pdfs are arguably the one most important reason you don’t see all the students, professors, technicians already ditch their piles of paperwork and go for e-reader option. As a scholar, I am constantly reading PDF, either journal articles or digital downloads from the library. I invested in an Onyxboox and love it because of its PDF compatibility. However, I am quite miffed at Onyxboox’s lack of support to its customer base – they are so busy putting out new versions they neglect to update the models already out there. When you pay $500+ for a reader, you’d expect the android OS to be updateable – so alas less than 2 yrs in many of the apps I use for journals (Browzine for ex) will no longer work due to this. They told me to just buy the new one being launched this year (only android 6.0!!) for another $650!! YEAAAAAH NOT LIKELYWe need android compatible e-ink devices badly!

Those of us who read for a living, our eyes depend on it!. Yes — maybe not a topic for this thread, but would be an interesting article — although not sure it’s in the purview of this website? I would definitely be interested in an article on PDF reader applications for tablets.I sometimes use a tablet to read PDFs, however one advantage that e-readers have is weight — the comparison is night and day.That is why I dream about that Sony 13″ DPT-RP1 e-reader.

It’s so big and so light — makes tablets seem like bricks in comparison. If they get down to $250 I will definitely buy one. I get it – right now they are really priced for business use — not consumers, waiting for consumer friendly pricing. I understand your point but for more than twice the price of the Paperwhite (on sale) I just don’t feel like the size difference is significant enough to warrant the extra expense, especially when KOReader doesn’t even have notes or anyway to export highlights, things commonly needed with PDFs. I also don’t like having to reboot every time I want to use KOReader, and then having access to it disappear every time Kobo updates the software was really annoying to me. For $100 more you can get a 9.7-inch Onyx so that kind of puts the Aura One in a tough spot to be one of the best PDF readers.

Thanks for the review. For now I will stick with the Kindle DX for PDFs. Good enough and inexpensive due to a special sale. IIRC, this blog advertised the sale. Thank you.I thought a Fire HD 8 would be better for PDFs than a device with a 6″ screen. Its margins are so large that the Fire HD 8 is no better than a 6″ device for a PDF.Sometimes a PDF’s font on the DX isn’t dark enough or bold enough for my taste. As long as I don’t have tables or graphs to worry about, I found a workaround.

Convert the PDF to TXT and then use MS Word to find the proper font type and size. MS Word does a better job of converting to PDFs, I found.Barry wanted to know what PDFs were for. PDFs on my DX run to manuals,HOA docs, work docs, academic papers, and textbooks- in addition to run-of-the-mill books. I took my Kindle DX to my HOA’s annual meeting because a PDF downloaded from the County website made an important point.The Kindle DX may be out of date, but it is a dependable workhorse for PDFs. I dread the day the battery fails. I read lots of ebooks and I have also tried around 15 ebook readers.

From my point of you the best ebook reader for technical pdfs is Sony DPT-RP1. Otherwise I prefer Remarkable (although the software misses some features, the annotation, and the pen response is absolutely like nothing on the market and it also supports epubs). It is a startup company, but they got very far.

And still promise to improve on there software. Might be the very best choice in the near future.I owned DPT-S1, Onyx boox (android is not suitable for me and it’s heavy). DPT-S1 had more functions then DPT-RP1. DPT-RP1 came with encryption and NFC functions. But you need the app, to load files. And the EULA policy and the collection of what you’re reading isn’t too pleasing.

The pen isn’t as responsive as on remarkable and you need to recharge it.Remarkable offers usb interface in beta, that is clumsy and hard to use through web browser. You can use cloud, but I prefer not to.I also owned Kobo, but the dedicated pdf reader isn’t priority for the company. Doesn’t support reflow and for the device under 10″, it definitely should.The other option for text oriented (not technical) pdf’s is Pocketbook. The reflow is built in and works nicely.

The Inkpad 3 probably with the 8″ screen is expected early 2018. And it also supports more then 10 formats, so probably reads almost everything mainstream.

There is alse integration with Pocket and RSS.So it depends mostly on what types of ebooks you read.The DRM is a problem for most of the devices except Pocketbook, but I buy ebooks only with social DRM.So from the software point of view non of the readers is perfect. But both Sony and Remarkable should update there software.So If you want to read nontechnical pdf’s and many other formats in a small factor pocketbook HD 2 (with RGB lighting) is probably the best. If you want to annotate and read nontechnical pdf’s and epubs then remarkable is the best choice, although if you’re like me it’ll take some time to load the books and then you’re good to go.If you want to read technical pdf’s, then A4 format of 13,3″ in Sony DPT-RP1 is the best choice. It may depend on the particular PDF but I have to read IBM technical manuals which come in PDF format. The Kindle Paperwhite is absolutely useless for these PDFs.

Even in Landscape mode, the text is far too small to read and blurred. If I zoom in, then the text does not resize to fit the screen but just goes off screen. I would need to constantly scroll to read anything.What would be needed would be for the Kindle to reformat the text to fit the smaller screen size but it doesn’t do that. You cannot read something that is A4/Letter size on a 6 inch screen.I don’t know about the intricacies of Kindle vs PDF format but I would have expect a reflow option which doesn’t appear to be there.If you need to read PDFs then I would say that at present the only viable option is a tablet. I just use a cheap Android Tablet with a 10.5 inch screen and that is OK. The only issue being that a backlit screen is more tiring on the eyes that a dedicated e book reader, that is why I wish someone would develop an e-book reader that handles PDF. I suggest either Amazon or Adobe do something to meet a clear demand.

Thanks Nathan. The conversion to mobi that you mention is not the same. I use Calibre to do this, and it often produces a very messy document, with paragraph breaks in between every line of the original text, loss of italics, and other problems. Also, as far as I know, the Adobe Clearscan font is not recognizable by these converters.I will check out Onyx and see if it works. Have you heard anything about inkBOOK? That is the other brand that I was looking into.The Duokan software that can be installed as an alternate OS on Kindle will recognize and resize Clearscan text, but not as well as the iRiver Story HD could, because the iRiver had Adobe software built in.

Do you know of any other e-readers that have Adobe software?. I’m an engineer. I watched with envy as eReaders came onto the market (2008-09) and bought the first edition of the Sony DPT-S1. I recently sold that Sony and bought the Boyue Likebook Mimas. I wanted quicker responsiveness and a ‘night’ light to read in the dark. So far this exchange has been a mistake. The PDF annotation on the Boyue is unusable.As an engineer (operational, systems, marine, data hardware, software-dev), I do ALL my reading on PDF’s.

Tech manuals and educational books are distributed in PDF. After 20+ years, I’m closing in on 40GB of PDF books and manuals.So, many of use need PDF support. I highlight, write notes, rearrange pages, extract/insert pages, and would like a back light.Still waiting patiently for that device.Phil.
