Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is one of the common musculoskeletal conditions shoulder which may develop sensory-motor and autonomic dysfunctions at various level neuromuscular system. The dysfunction caused by MPS were primarily treated with physical therapy pharmacological agents in order to achieve painfree movements. However, recent years intramuscular electrical stimulation (IMES) conventional electrode placement was used researchers maximise therapeutic values. But, this study an...

Acute facet joint lock induced wry neck (AFJL-WN) is common among adult population and it primarily managed by medications physiotherapy. However, the immediate recovery from pain movements restriction caused AFJL-WN not documented in favour of existing interventions.To evaluate effects paraspinal dry needling (PSDN) on acute movement deficit patients with AFJL-WN.A total 21 were treated single session PSDN for 12-15 minutes. The Visual Analog Scale (0-100mm) Hand Held Goniometer used to...

Myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) precipitate the shoulder pain severity and disability in patients with adhesive capsulitis (SAC). This study aims to compare effectiveness of intramuscular electrical stimulation (IMES) combined therapeutic exercises versus dry needling (DN) improving clinical outcomes SAC.In this randomized controlled trial, IMES (n = 45) DN (43) groups had received respectively IMES, twice weekly for three consecutive weeks. Both 1520 minutes, five days a week during...

Introduction Lateral epicondylalgia (LE) is commonly presented with myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) among adults. Dry needling (DN) used less frequently as a first-line treatment in LE points, and the short long-term effectiveness of DN these populations were not studied. Hence, this study compared conventional physiotherapy population points. Methods For four weeks, experimental group (<i>n</i> = 19) received weekly one session, control therapeutic ultrasound combined deep...

Context: Stroke is one of the common upper motor neurological disorders with overall worldwide prevalence 3% . Majority post-stroke individuals develop abnormal pelvic muscles function and tilt which can affect trunk lower limb functions. Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation less commonly used to treat acute stroke population. Thus, we conducted this case study evaluate clinical usefulness selective PNF on pattern in two subjects hemiparesis. Both cases were treated routine techniques...
