Immediate effect of Pulsed versus Isolytic Muscle Energy Technique on pectoralis minor muscle length and forward shoulder angle in young adults with rounded shoulder posture: An Experimental study

Pectoralis minor is a small postural muscle and acts as a stabilizing muscle for shoulder joint therefore prone to get adaptively shortened due to inappropriate posture with prevalence of 62. 92 percent in young adults.

Despite research supporting the use of Muscle Energy Technique for a large number of conditions and large muscles, no investigators have determined the immediate effect of Muscle Energy Technique for small muscle so this study helps to examine the efficacy of two Muscle Energy Technique (Isolytic and Pulsed) which are two novel techniques for reducing pectoralis minor tightness in asymptomatic healthy individuals may assist clinicians in preventing and treating shoulder injuries in this group.

This study supports the both the null and alternative hypothesis as There will be or there will not be significant difference between the immediate effect of Pulsed and Isolytic Muscle Energy Technique on pectoralis minor muscle length and forward shoulder angle in young adults with rounded shoulder posture.
