简要总结
Comparison of effects of autogenic inhibition and reciprocal inhibition muscle energy techniques on iliotibial band syndrome
详细描述
A single-blinded randomized control trial will be conducted over a period of one year in Foundation University Islamabad. Forty participants will be assigned to two groups: Group A (AI) and Group B (RI), with 20 participants each. The AI technique will involve a maximal isometric contraction of the target muscle followed by a stretch, while the RI technique will involve a maximal isometric contraction of the antagonist muscle followed by a similar stretching protocol. Both groups will perform the exercises 3 times per week for 2 weeks. Pain, Hip range of motion (ROM) and lower extremity function will be assessed using Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), goniometer and Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS) respectively.
The outcomes will be measured in terms of improvements in pain score (NPRS), hip range of motion (ROM), and overall lower extremity function.

研究组 & 干预措施
Autogenic Inhibition (AI) MET Group
Autogenic Inhibition (AI) MET (Post Facilitation Stretch)
- The shortened muscle (Tensor Fascia Latae) is placed in a mid-range position about halfway between a fully stretched and a fully relaxed state.
- The patient contracts the muscle isometrically, using a maximum degree of effort for 5-10 seconds while the effort is resisted completely.
- On release of the effort, a rapid stretch is made to a new barrier, without any 'bounce', and this is held for at least 10 seconds.
- The patient relaxes for approximately 20 seconds and the procedure is repeated between three and five times more.

Reciprocal Inhibition (RI) MET Group
Reciprocal Inhibition (RI) MET
- The shortened muscle (Tensor Fascia Latae) is placed in a mid-range position about halfway between a fully stretched and a fully relaxed state.
- The patient contracts the antagonist muscles (hip adductors), using a maximum degree of effort for 5-10 seconds while the effort is resisted completely.
- On release of the effort, a rapid stretch to TFL is made to a new barrier, without any 'bounce', and this is held for at least 10 seconds.
- The patient relaxes for approximately 20 seconds and the procedure is repeated between three and five times more.
