  • Evaluation of the Combination of Muscle Energy Technique and Trigger Point Therapy in Asymptomatic Individuals with a Latent Trigger Point
    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Article Evaluation of the Combination of Muscle Energy Technique and Trigger Point Therapy in Asymptomatic Individuals with a Latent Trigger Point Michał Wendt * and Małgorzata Waszak Department of Biology and Anatomy, Poznan University of Physical Education, 61-871 Pozna´n,Poland; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 7 September 2020; Accepted: 12 November 2020; Published: 14 November 2020 Abstract: (1) Background: The aim of the study was to determine the effect of the combination therapy of Muscle Energy Technique (MET) and Trigger Point Therapy (TPT) on the angular values of the range of movements of the cervical spine and on the pressure pain threshold (PPT) of the trapezius muscle in asymptomatic individuals. METHODS: The study involved 60 right-handed, asymptomatic students with a latent trigger point in the upper trapezius muscle. All qualified volunteers practiced amateur symmetrical sports. The study used a tensometric electrogoniometer (cervical spine movement values) and an algometer (pressure pain threshold (PPT) of upper trapezius). Randomly (sampling frame), volunteers were assigned to three different research groups (MET + TPT, MET and TPT). All participants received only one therapeutic intervention. Measurements were taken in three time-intervals (pre, post and follow-up the next day after therapy). (2) Results: One-time combined therapy (MET + TPT) significantly increases the range of motion occurring in all planes of the cervical spine. One-time treatments of single MET and single TPT therapy selectively affect the mobility of the cervical spine. The value of the PPT significantly increased immediately after all therapies, but only on the right trapezius muscle, while on the left side only after the therapy combining MET with TPT.

  • Effect of Bowen Technique Versus Muscle Energy Technique on Asymptomatic Subjects with Hamstring Tightness: a Randomized Clinica
    Available online at www.ijmrhs.com International Journal of Medical Research & ISSN No: 2319-5886 Health Sciences, 2017, 6(4): 102-108 Effect of Bowen Technique versus Muscle Energy Technique on Asymptomatic Subjects with Hamstring Tightness: A Randomized Clinical Trial Vijay Kage1*, Farhana Bootwala2 and Gayatri Kudchadkar2 1 Department of Orthopaedic Physiotherapy, KLEU Institute of Physiotherapy, Belagavi, Karnataka, India 2 KLEU Institute of Physiotherapy, Belagavi, Karnataka, India *Corresponding e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Background: To study and compare the effectiveness of Bowen technique and muscle energy technique in asymptomatic subjects with hamstring tightness. Methods: Forty-eight normal healthy subjects (24 in each group) were recruited in the study under simple randomization method. Group A received three alternate sessions of Bowen technique and Group B received three alternate sessions of muscle energy technique for hamstring tightness. Popliteal angle and Sit and reach tests for flexibility and hand-held dynamometer for strength of the hamstrings were measured pre- intervention and post intervention. Data was evaluated using t-test. Results: The group treated with Bowen technique showed significant improvement in Popliteal angle (p<0.001) as compared to muscle energy technique. The sit and reach flexibility test (p<0.001) was equally significant for both the groups. There was significant improvement in hand-held dynamometer (p<0.001) in group treated with Muscle energy technique as compared to Bowen technique. Conclusion: Three alternate sessions of Bowen technique and muscle energy technique proved to be effective in improving hamstring flexibility, range of motion and strength of the hamstring muscle. The group treated with Bowen technique proved to be more effective in improving flexibility of hamstring and range of motion when measured with popliteal angle.

  • Craniosacral Therapy, Muscle Energy Technique, and Fascial Distortion
    Introduction Manual therapies are used in many different healthcare settings including physical therapy, occupational therapy, chiropractic, massage therapy, and osteopathic medicine. Traditional medicine focuses on the principles of evidence-based medicine that is guided by high quality randomized control trials to evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention for a group of people suffering from similar problems. Though this method is effective for evaluating treatments involving pharmacological interventions, manual therapies and interventions can be more difficult to evaluate using these criteria. Because of the difficulties encountered in designing high quality experiments involving manual therapies, there is a noticeable lack of high-quality evidence used to support use of these treatments. This leads many healthcare practitioners who use these manual therapies to rely on evidence-informed medicine instead of evidence-based medicine (Fryer, 2011). According to Fryer (2011) evidence-informed medicine is the “process of integrating research evidence when available but including personal recommendations based on clinical experience, while retaining transparency about the process used to reach clinical decisions”. Fryer (2011), further argues that there are downsides to relying solely on evidence-based medicine for treatment of patients and that “may unintentionally limit practice.” He supports the idea of balancing clinical evidence with clinical experience and states that “a treatment effective for the majority may not always be effective for an individual.” However, evidence and research are still very important aspects of choosing an effective treatment for a patient. According to Zegarra-Parodi (2016) evidence can “support the patient care process and enhance practice so optimal clinical outcomes and quality of life are achieved.” It seems that the question does not involve if you should use evidence but more how you should use it to provide the best treatment for an individual.
