研究组 & 干预措施
Graston technique.
The Graston Technique is a form of manual therapy known as soft-tissue instrument-assisted mobilization
干预措施: Graston technique (Diagnostic Test)
muscle energy technique
Muscle Energy Technique (MET), uses a muscle's own energy in the form of gentle isometric contractions to relax the muscles via autogenic or reciprocal inhibition and lengthen the muscle
干预措施: muscle energy technique (Diagnostic Test)
