Latar Belakang:  Instrumen Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) merupakan prosedur terapi yang mana menggunakan instrumen untuk secara mekanik menstimulus struktur jaringan lunak untuk mengurangi nyeri otot, ketidaknyamanan, dan meningkatkan secara keseluruhan mobilitas dan fungsi Self Myofascial Release (SMFR) merupakan salah satu teknik manual terapi dengan cara memberikan tekanan pada otot dan fascia yang bertujuan untuk menambah Range of Motion (ROM), mengurangi nyeri, dan meningkatkan fungsi. Tujuan: Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui efek akut perubahan fleksibilitas otot hamstring setelah diberikan IASTM dan SMFR, juga mengetahui adanya perbedaan efek akut antara pemberian IASTM dan SMFR pada perubahan fleksibilitas otot hamtring. Metode: Penelitian eksperimen dengan membandingan pre dan post tes dari dua kelompok yang berbeda perlakuan. Kelompok pertama diberikan perlakuan teknik IASTM, kelompok kedua diberikan perlakuan SMFR.  Data yang dikumpulkan dianalisa menggunakan paired t-test dan mann-whitney test. Hasil: Hasil penelitian menunjukkan efek akut IASTM terhadap fleksibilitas otot hamstring (p = 0,001), efek akut SMFR terhadap fleksibilitas otot hamstring  (p = 0,000), Perbedaan pengaruh antara passive dan active MFR terhadap ketegangan otot (p = 0,134).

Shoulder Range

Clinical Scenario: Shoulder range of motion (ROM) in throwing athletes relies on a balance of mobility and stability to maintain proper function and health that, if disrupted, can lead to shoulder injury. There have been several studies that address the relationship between ROM deficits and overhead injuries; however, it may be unclear to clinicians which interventions are most effective for increasing ROM in the glenohumeral joints of overhead athletes. Clinical Question: In overhead athletes who have deficient shoulder ROM, is instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) more effective at acutely increasing ROM over the course of a patient’s treatment when compared with self-stretching? Summary of Key Findings: A thorough literature review yielded 3 studies relevant to the clinical question, and all 3 studies were included. Two articles found a significant increase in acute ROM when compared with a self-stretch measure. All 3 articles showed increases in internal rotation and horizontal adduction, and 1 study reported an increase in total arc of shoulder ROM. Clinical Bottom Line: There is moderate evidence to support the use of IASTM to acutely increase ROM in the glenohumeral joint of overhead athletes. Clinicians should be aware of the variability with recommended treatment times; however, positive results have been seen with treatments lasting 5 to 6 minutes per treatment region. There is no consensus for treatment intensity, and certain IASTM tools require certification. Strength of Recommendation: Grade B evidence exists that IASTM is more effective at increasing shoulder ROM (ie, internal rotation, horizontal adduction, external rotation, total arc of motion) in overhead athletes than self-stretching measures.

Background:Frozen shoulder has a greater incidence, more severe course, and resistance to treatment in patients. Management is based on the underlying cause of pain and stiffness. Joint mobilization has been reported to improve joint range of motion in frozen shoulder. However, there is no information regarding the effect of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) in frozen shoulder. We proposed that there would be no significant difference between the two manual physical therapy techniques with relatively similar treatment effects in the frozen shoulder.Objectives:The aim of this randomized controlled study was to compare the effectiveness of IASTM and joint mobilization in the treatment of patients with frozen shoulder.Methods:Thirty patients with phase II frozen shoulder (mean age 50,9 years, age range 39–65 years) were randomly assigned to one of the two treatment groups: Group I received joint mobilization combined with manual stretching exercise and Group II received IASTM with manual stretching exercise (two days per week for six weeks) (Figure 1). The pain level was evaluated with a visual analogue scale (VAS) and the active range of motion (ROM) was measured with a universal goniometer. The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand score and the Constant-Murley score were used for functional assessment. The assessments were performed at baseline and after the 6-week intervention.Figure 1.Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue MobilizationResults:Both groups had a significant decrease in pain according to VAS and a significant increase in ROM and function level (p<0.05). After the 6-week intervention, improvement of shoulder abduction ROM in Group I was found significantly higher than Group II (p=0.01), on the other hand, Constant-Murley score in Group II was found significantly higher compared to Group I (p=0,001).Conclusion:Our results supported the hypothesis that either joint mobilization or IASTM, performed in addition to stretching exercise, provided similar improvements in pain levels in patients with the frozen shoulder.References:[1]Kelley MJ, Shaffer MA, Kuhn JE, Michener LA, Seitz AL, Uhl TL, et al.

Abstract Objective: To determine the effectiveness of routine physical therapy with and without Instrument Assisted soft Tissue Mobilization on pain intensity, range of motion in patients with neck pain due to upper crossed syndrome. Methods: It was Randomized clinical trial. The data was collected from Physiotherapy Clinics, The Agile Institute of rehabilitation Sciences (AIRS) and National Orthopedic Hospital Bahawalpur. The study was completed from 28 August 2019 to29 February 2020 after the approval .60 patients of upper crossed syndrome diagnosed patients complaining neck pain with forwarded head posture in age range of 18-40 years were included based on following Inclusion and exclusion criteria. The subjects were divided into two equal groups of 30 each using non-probability purposive sampling technique. Outcome tool used were Inclinometer to assess range of motion and Pain by Numeric pain Rating Scale. The Data was analysed by using SPSS version 22. Criteria of significance i.e. p-value<0.05 was taken as significant at 95% Confidence Interval. Results: Pain rating at base line in experimental compared to routine physical therapy show significant improvement as P value was 0.01.The results of Neck Flexion P=0.03, Neck Right Bending P=.00, Neck Left Bending P=0.00. The results for Neck extension 0.25 show that both techniques were equally effective. Conclusion: The study concluded that addition that Instrument soft tissue mobilization with combination of stretching exercise is more effective in management of symptoms of upper crossed syndrome.
