The goal of this study was to examine the effectiveness of muscular energy method with deep neck flexors training on pain, range of motion, and functional impairment in individuals with mechanical neck pain. This randomized controlled trial was carried out at the Mayo Hospital's OPD physiotherapy department in Lahore. In this study, 30 patients were chosen at random and divided into two groups: Group 1 was treated with deep neck flexors training, while Group 2 was treated with muscular energy method (post isometric relaxation). Every patient signed a Performa and gave their informed permission. The questioner used to collect data was based on the NDI, Visual analogue scale (VAS), and Ranges of motion (flexion, extension, rotation, and side bending at neck). Patients in group 1 showed marked improvement as compared to group 2. Both groups showed improvement but group 1 showed statistically more improvement (p value<or =to 0.05). It is concluded from the study that, patients with mechanical neck pain, when treated by deep neck flexors training showed a significant treatment outcome when analyzed on VAS, NDI, and Goniometer for ROM. When Group 1 and 2 were compared, it was seen that Group 1 showed more significant results than group 2.
Adhesive capsulitis, “popularly is a condition with an unclear etiology known as Frozen Shoulder (FS)". This disorder limits the range of motion of the shoulder joint. Objective: To compare the effectiveness of movement with mobilization and muscle energy technique (METs) in reducing pain and improving functional status in patients with frozen shoulder Methods: Study was conducted at Department of Physiotherapy, Mayo Hospital Lahore after obtaining the consent from 36 patients. Patients were divided into Two groups. For two weeks, Group 1 received Movement with Mobilization Protest movements (MMM) while Group 2 received METs. The data was processed into SPSS and evaluated using the Independent Sample t test and Paired Sample t test. Results: The outcome assessment instruments, “goniometer for ROM” and “shoulder pain, and disability index,” revealed that “Motion by Mobility is more effective than Muscle Energy Technique in increasing ROM and operational condition” of the patient having frozen shoulder. Conclusions: There was a considerable improvement in pain and ROM from pre-treatment levels in both the study groups. Whereas “Movement with Mobilization is more effective than Muscle Energy Technique” in alleviating pain, enhancing range of motion, and enhancing functional capacity in “patients with shoulder pain.”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
