Immediate effect of MET vs Static Stretching on Tendo–Achilles Tightness
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Static stretching commonly used conventional technique to lengthen a shortened muscle/group of muscles. Literature showed that MET improves flexibility and range of joint hence the need to find out immediate efficacy of MET over static stretching techniques. 70 subjects were screened for Tendo-achilles tightness on the Weight-bearing Lunge test and Ankle Flexibility Test .They were then randomly allocated into groups of self stretching and MET. Pre and post reading were recorded. Study concluded, MET is statistically significant in Ankle Flexibility Test. The two interventions were equally effective on the Weight-Bearing Lunge Test
