Muscle Energy Technique Versus Myofacial Release in Adolescents With Spinal Deformity

Delta University for Science and Technology

Status: Completed

Conditions: Idiopathic Spinal Deformities

Treatments: Other: muscle energy technique and myofacial release (physiotherapy techniques)

Study type: Interventional

Funder types: Other

Identifiers

muscle energy technique

Details and patient eligibility

About

Spinal deformity may not only alter the physical appearance, but may also have a psychological impact on the child, particularly in the adolescent to whom self- image is so important.

This study will investigate the effect of muscle energy technique compared to myofacial release in the adolescent with spinal deformities( scoliosis and/ or kyphosis).

Enrollment: 50 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 12 to 16 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Children in this group will be healthy category according to CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) growth chart which ranged from BMI-for-age 5th to 85th percentiles . All children are normal &perform all activities of daily living
• They were able to understand and follow verbal commands and instructions included in the testing procedures.

Exclusion criteria

• All of them could be part of recreational activities in their public schools but no competitive sports. Children who participated in any regular sport activities involving the lower extremities will be excluded.
• None of them had any surgical intervention .
• None of them had any history of other musculoskeletal deformities or neuromuscular disorders.

50 participants in 2 patient groups

muscle energy technique

Experimental group

Description:

Muscle energy technique is an associate degree of osteopathic manipulation methodology. The muscles of patients were used, on request, to type a singular controlled position, in a very specific direction, and against a distinctly executed therapist-applied counterforce. Muscle energy technique could be a post-isometric relaxation, because it reduces the tone of a muscle or cluster of muscle after a brief period following an isometric contraction. The result of post-isometric relaxation is mediated by receptive input from Golgi connective tissue organ (GTO) that has associate degree repressive result on the antagonist muscles mediated by the muscle spindle receptive. The technique will be applied for three month (3 session/week)

Treatment:

Other: muscle energy technique and myofacial release (physiotherapy techniques)

myofacial release

Experimental group

Description:

The technique will be applied for three month (3 session/week). All participants underwent ipsilateral side bending in a side-lying position, with the goals being de-rotation and scoliosis reduction.

Other: muscle energy technique and myofacial release (physiotherapy techniques)
