Effects of autogenic inhibition mets and reciprocal inhibition METS on hamstring flexibility in subjects with bilateral hamstring tightness


Author(s): Rajan Balakrishnan and Selvaraj Sudhakar

Abstract:
The study is to compare the effects of autogenic inhibition METS and reciprocal inhibition METS on hamstring flexibility in subjects with bilateral hamstring tightness.
Introduction: MET is a form of manual therapy, widely used in osteopathy, that uses a muscle’s own energy in the form of gentle isometric contractions to relax the muscles via autogenic or reciprocal inhibition and lengthen the muscle. As compared to static stretching which is a passive technique in which the therapist does all the work, MET is an active technique in which the patient is also an active participant. MET is based on the concepts of autogenic inhibition and reciprocal inhibition.
Methodology: Total of 30 subjects, aged between 18-25 years male subject with bilateral hamstring tightness were selected based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The study was approved from Institutional review board. A total 30 subjects were selected and divided into two groups by convenient sampling method. Back Saver Sit and Reach (BSSR) test was used as an outcome measuring tool. Group A consist of 15 subjects with Autogenic inhibition MET and Group B consist of 15 subjects who were treated with Reciprocal inhibition MET. The study duration was 4 weeks.
Outcome measure: Back Saver Sit and Reach test.
Results: On comparing Pre test and Post test within and between Group A & Group B on Back Saver Sit and Reach test scores show significant difference in the mean value at P≤0.05.
