Abstract:

Back ground and purpose: Neck disorders remain a common problem in modern industrialized countries. Around two-thirds of population in the world are suffering from neck pain at some point in their lives. There is an irrefutable evidence suggesting association between mechanical neck pain & dysfunction of muscle around cervical spine. Various studies have shows that MET is more effective in reducing the symptoms of MNP in somatic dysfunction compared to other manual therapy technique. Hence the purpose of the study is to find out the SHORT TERM EFFECT OF MET ON INDIVIDUALS WITH MECHANICAL NECK PAIN DUE TO SOMATIC DYSFUNCTION Subjects: 30 subjects diagnosed with MNP due to somatic dysfunction based on criteria proposed by KENNETH.K. NELSON. Methodology: Muscular dysfunction was evaluated and detailed pre-test measurements of CROM, VAS and NDI taken. MET intervention was applied on each dysfunction muscle on the basis of Ruddy’s approach Post-intervention measurements of CROM, VAS and NDI taken immediately, 24hrs and 48 hrs. Results: Result showed highly significant improvement in all the parameters within the subjects immediately, 24hrs, 48hrs following intervention (MET) with p<0.000. Result also showed significant improvement in all the parameters between the subjects immediately, 24hrs, 48hrs following intervention (MET) with p<0.000.
