Muscle Energy Technique |
Post isometric relaxation technique for Gastrocnemius
Position of the patient: - Supine with the knee extended and feet extending over the edge of the table.
Patient lying supine, the practitioner’s hands grasp the Achilles tendon just above the heel.
The other hand is placed such that the fingers rest on the dorsum of the foot, with the thumb on the sole lying along the medial margin.
Starting from a position just short of the resistance barrier of dorsiflexion, the patient is asked to inhale and exert a small effort (not more than 20%of the available strength)towards plantar flexion, against unyielding resistance. This effort isometrically contracts the gastrocnemius.
This contraction is held for 20 seconds together with a held breath.
On slow release, on an exhalation, the ankle is passively dorsiflexed painlessly beyond the new barrier.
The tissues should be held in slight stretch for 20seconds to allow slow lengthening of tissues.
Repeat the procedure 4 times with each isometric-contraction commencing from a position short of the barrier.
Isometric contraction of the gastrocnemius muscles [20% of MVC] -20seconds.
Dosage
Duration of hold of the stretch-20seconds
Repetition -4 times per sessions. |
| Intervention |
Positional release technique |
For Gastricnemius- Subject will be in prone lying position with the knee flexed to 90 deg and the ankle maintained in plantarflexion. Therapist applied deep manual pressure on the trigger point and while sustaining it the subject actively extended the knee as well as dorsiflexed the ankle.15 repetitions were performed.
For soleus- Subject will be in prone lying position with the knee extended and the ankle plantarflexed outside the plinth. Therapist applied deep manual pressure on the trigger point and while sustaining it the subject actively dorsiflexed the ankle.15 repetitions were performed |

Brief Summary

AIM: To compare the effectiveness of muscle energy technique and positional release technique for improving calf flexibility and balance in fencers. Objectives: To find out effectiveness of MET and PRT for pain threshold and anterior balance for improving calf flexibility in fencers.
Study design :- randomized clinical trial Duration of study:- 1 year Study setting:- Sports complex in Aurangabad. Study population :- Male Fencers age between 18 to 25 yr old Sample size:- 42 Sampaling Method:- Random Sampling Method Type of data :- Primary Data Study materials:- Measuring tape ,couch,weighing machine, Variables
Independent variables:- Age, Gender.
Dependent variables:- Y- balance test, Pressure Algometer, Dynamic lunge test.
INCLUSION CRITERIA: Gender –Males Fencers age group between 18 to 25. who are practicing regularly since 3 years. Participant with inform consent. EXCULUSION CRITERIA: Major trauma to lower limb Recent ligament and tendon injury in lower limb Any lower limb surgery Any acute lower limb pain
Fencers were selected according to inclusion criteria that are coming to they are divided into two groups group A and group B.Participant will be screened from the sports complex of Aurangabad and purpose of study will be explained to them. the height and weight of each player will be recorded to calculate the BMI . Group A- received MET Group B- received PRT Pre test both groups were first assist dynamic lunge test , y balance test and pressure algometer measurement taken (baseline).Post test after treatment again this basic out come will be measured. CONCLUSION
On the basis of the present study, it can be concluded that Muscle Energy Technique and
Positional release technique both are effective for improving pain threshold, anterior balance,
and calf flexibility in fencers. Muscle Energy Technique resulted in Maximum improvement
when compared to the Positional release technique on calf flexibility in fencers.
