Muscle Energy Technique Versus Myofacial Release in Adolescents With Spinal Deformity

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Idiopathic Spinal Deformities
• Interventions: Other: muscle energy technique and myofacial release (physiotherapy techniques)

• Registration Number: NCT05120089
• Lead Sponsor: Delta University for Science and Technology

Brief Summary

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).

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
muscle energy technique	muscle energy technique and myofacial release (physiotherapy techniques)	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)
myofacial release	muscle energy technique and myofacial release (physiotherapy techniques)	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.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
cobb angle for spinal deformities (scoliosis and/or kyphosis)	by the end of successful three month of intervention	It is defined as the greatest angle at a particular region of the vertebral column, when measured from the superior endplate of a superior vertebra to the inferior endplate of an inferior vertebra. However, the endplates are generally parallel for each vertebra, so not all sources include usage of a superior versus inferior endplate in the definition.
