简要总结
The study aims to investigate theImmediate effects of Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization and Myofascial Release Therapy on trigger points in patients with subacute and chronic stroke. Stroke patients with hypertonicity have trigger points which gets unnoticed and could be a contributing factor towards reduced range of motion, function and increased pain. Hence this Study will be focusing on 3 main criterias to improve pain, range of motion of shoulder and functional status. Two different techniques will be used which are Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization and Myofascial Release Therapy. The research seeks to determine the immediate effects between and within these two techniques. The methodology involves assessing pain through Wong baker scale, range of motions of shoulder (abduction, flexion, adduction, extension, medial and lateral rotation) through kinovea and goniometer and SPADI for functional status. The study will recruit patients diagnosed with subacute and chronic stroke aged 55-75 years. There is dearth of literature on comparing IASTM and MFRT on myofascial trigger points in scapular muscles in patients with hypertonic subacute and chronic stroke, hence this study is been undertaken
