Abstract:
Background: Biceps tendinitis is inflammation of the tendon around the long head of the biceps muscle. Pathology of the biceps tendon is most often found in patients 18 to 35 years of age who are involved in sports. Muscle energy technique is a manual therapy procedure which involves the voluntary contraction of a muscle in a precisely controlled direction. MET may be used to decrease pain, stretch tight muscles and fascia, reduce muscle tonus, improve local circulation, strengthen musculature and mobilize joint restrictions.

Objectives: To assess persons for bicipital tendinitis, to determine the effect of muscle energy technique in acute and chronic symptoms of bicipital tendinitis and to find out the risk factors for development of bicipital tendinitis.

Methodology: Informed consent was taken from each of the subject prior to Participation. All Instruction was given to the subjects about techniques performed. The study was conducted in and around Karad. Subjects were selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Results: The study used outcome measures, visual analogue scale (VAS), Range of motion (ROM) and shoulder pain and disability index (SPADI). All three scores revealed statistically significant results (p < 0.05) reduction in pain after post interventional.

Conclusion: This study concluded that there was an improvement in the bicipital tendinitis patients after undergoing 3 weeks of core muscle energy technique protocol. This indirectly improved their shoulder performance by reducing pain to shoulder and improving their dynamic balance.
