Muscle energy technique is commonly used in osteopathic practice in the treatment of muscular injuries and to restore postural imbalances. However, there is very limited research concerning scientific evidence to support its hypothesised benefits. The aim of this study was to asses the effect of muscle energy technique on quadriceps endurance.Twenty students, twelve males and eight females (aged between 18 - 28 years), from the British College of Osteopathic Medicine participated in this study. The cybex Norm machine was used to asses endurance of the quadriceps muscle. All measurements were taken from the non-dominant legs of subjects.
The students themselves were their own control and muscle energy technique subjects. The muscle energy technique procedure was carried out for a period of three minutes, using 10% of the subjects' maximal strength. The measurement of quadriceps endurance was taken before and after the muscle energy technique.
Statistical analysis of the results (t-test) revealed a measurement effect in the muscle energy technique subjects. It was concluded that the application of postsiometric relaxation muscle energy technique is effective in improving quadriceps endurance in the non-dominant leg. - presented at
