A Study to Find Out Immediate Effect of Muscle Energy Technique on Pectoralis Minor Tightness in Healthy Collegiate Individuals-An Interventional Study.

Background: Pectoralis minor shortening can lead to scapular anterior tilting and internal rotation and a decrease in scapular upward rotation. Pectoralis minor adaptive shortening has been implicated as a mechanism for forward shoulder posture and for shoulder impingement. Muscle energy techniques...

      ab: Background: Pectoralis minor shortening can lead to scapular anterior tilting and internal rotation and a decrease in scapular upward rotation. Pectoralis minor adaptive shortening has been implicated as a mechanism for forward shoulder posture and for shoulder impingement. Muscle energy techniques are a class of soft tissue osteopathic (originally) manipulation methods that incorporate precisely directed and controlled, patient initiated, isometric and/or isotonic contractions, designed to improve musculoskeletal function and reduce pain. The aim of study was to examine the immediate effect of muscle energy technique on pectoralis minor tightness in healthy collegiate individuals. Method: An interventional study was conducted on 50 subjects (25 males, 25 females) with pectoralis minor tightness of age 18-25 years were selected as per inclusion and exclusion criteria. Pectoralis minor tightness was measured before and after treatment. All the subjects received Muscle energy technique for pectoralis minor muscle (3 repetitions in 1session). Statistical analysis was done using paried 't' test from SPSS version 20.0. Outcome: Pectoralis minor length test was used to measure pectoralis minor tightness Result: Statically significant (p<0.05) difference between pre- and post-treatment value of pectoralis minor length test was found in healthy collegiate individuals. Conclusion: This study concludes that muscle energy technique is helpful to reduce pectoralis minor tightness in healthy collegiate individuals.
