Effect of Myofascial Release Therapy versus Muscle Energy Technique on Pain Pressure Threshold, Range of Motion and Disability among patients with Turtle Neck Syndrome

Abstract

1.Objectives:
To find out the effects of Myofascial Release therapy versus Muscle Energy Technique on Pain Pressure Threshold, range of motion and Disability among patients with Turtle Neck Syndrome
2.Methodology:
Total fifty participants were included in the study divided into two groups A and B. Each group had twenty-five patients having turtle neck syndrome and use mobile phone for at least 6 hours. All participants who met the inclusion criteria were included in the study. For checking pain intensity Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was used. Flexion range of motion was checked through Goniometer and pain pressure threshold of sub occipital muscle, sternocleidomastoid muscle and trapezius muscle through Algometer. The total time line for the treatment was four weeks in which pre assessment was done on day one and post assessment was done last day of the session. Confidentiality of participants was maintained and informed consent was taken.
