- Abstract
- BackgroundIn a study to understand the immediate effect of Myofascial trigger points’ therapy with pressure release on trigger points in physiotherapy, Grieve (2006) established that the technique was successful in the treatment of musculoskeletal dysfunction. Up till now, there is limited research on ischaemic compressions and their effects on hip flexion range of motion (ROM). ObjectivesExamining the immediate impact of a single intervention of trigger point Ischaemic compression release on latent or active hamstring myofascial trigger points (MTrP) on the hip flexion ROM. DesignSingle-blinded, randomized control trial MethodsThe study utilized 30 subjects with an age range between 18 and 45 years who had active or latent myofascial trigger points. Subjects were randomly allocated to one of three groups:1. Intervention group2. Control group (no treatment)3. Sham group (ultrasound with the ultrasound machine switched off).Two measurements for ROM of hip flexion were recorded for each individual before the treatment and two measurements immediately after the treatment. ResultsThe two-way repeated measures ANOVA showed that the mean for the control group was 75.100, S.D 3.090 and the sham was 81.500. This statistical analysis proved that there was significant difference between the control group and the intervention group. Consequently, ischaemic compressions not only relived pain but also improved the hip ROM. ConclusionThe study concluded that Ischemic compression on the hamstring myofascial trigger points increases the hip flexion range of motion, though more research is needed to determine any long-term effects or performance implications.
