Abstract :
Walking is the most common form of human
locomotion. From a motor control perspective difficulty
of walking is the use of high heeled shoes. The use of high
heels is widespread in modern society in professional and
social contests. An increase in heel height forces the foot,
leading to injuries. Cupping therapy has already been
used in various health conditions These applications may
result in local stretching, releasing the muscle and
decreasing local stiffness. Myofascial release technique
(MFR) has been applied to the rehabilitation treatment
of musculoskeletal injuries it helps reduce fibrous
adhesion, MFR is whole body, hand on approach for
evaluation and treatment of the human structure its
focus facial system.
Aim
To assess the effectiveness of dynamic cupping
versus myofascial release (MFR) for patient with
gastrocnemius muscle tightness and to find out if there is
an improvement in ankle dorsiflexion ROM.
Method
The study involves 100 females with gastrocnemius
muscle tightness and use high heels on daily basis,
cupping therapy was given to RT leg and myofascial
release(MFR) was given to LT leg in same person for 3
sessions with 1day interval in between every session and
assessed post interval of both groups.
Result
The result showed cupping therapy and myofascial
release(MFR) both are effective in reducing muscle
tightness but cupping therapy shown immediate effect in
reducing muscle tightness (mean value 13.7) than MFR
(mean value12.5)(p value 0.004).
Conclusion
Cupping therapy is more beneficial than myofascial
release(MFR) in reducing gastrocnemius muscle
