Brief Summary:
This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effectiveness of Autogenic Inhibition and Reciprocal Inhibition in treating shin splints among amateur footballers aged 18-30 from SA Gardens Football Club Lahore Participants will be recruited through non-probability convenient sampling and randomly assigned into two groups using random number sampling A single-blind approach will be employed with one group receiving Autogenic Inhibition treatment and the other receiving Reciprocal Inhibition treatment over a period of four weeks with three sessions per week The study will measure outcomes including pain alleviation improvement in range of motion ROM enhanced function and improved sports performance This research seeks to provide insights into the benefits of muscle energy techniques for athletes with shin splints contributing valuable knowledge to sports medicine and rehabilitation practices
Detailed Description:
Recent literature provides substantial evidence supporting the efficacy of muscle energy techniques METs including Autogenic Inhibition for various musculoskeletal conditions across different populations Robert F et al 2023 conducted a quasi-experimental study using a pre- and post-test design to compare Kalternborn grade III mobilization and METs in 30 patients finding significant improvements in pain and neck function Siddiqui M et al 2022 demonstrated in a randomized control trial that Autogenic Inhibition was more effective than Reciprocal Inhibition in improving pain range of motion and functional disability in patients with mechanical neck pain Similarly Osama M et al 2022 found Autogenic Inhibition to be the most effective among static stretching AI-MET and RI-MET for enhancing isometric muscle strength in neck pain patients Majeed A et al 2021 showed that Autogenic Inhibition had better outcomes than static stretching for hamstring flexibility Khaled H Yousef et al revealed that adding METs to conventional therapy significantly improved pain impairment and hip range of motion in patients with chronic discogenic sciatica A systemic review by Thomas E et al 2019 confirmed METs effectiveness in reducing chronic and acute pain and improving range of motion Despite these positive findings there is limited research on METs for sports-related conditions like shin splints This study aims to fill this gap by examining the specific benefits and drawbacks of a structured MET program for shin splints in a sports environment providing valuable insights for athletes in managing and preventing overuse and bone stress injuries efficiently
