Abstract :
Neuromuscular diseases can cause
spasticity, which has an impact on the quality of life for
persons who suffer it. A muscle tightness that depends on
velocity is the outcome of spasticity. The goal of
myofascial release, a type of manual treatment, is to
restore ideal length, reduce discomfort, and enhance
function by applying a low load, long duration stretch to
the myofascial complex. Many people with spasticity
utilise stretches in the hope that tightness or contracture
of soft tissues can be reduced and prolonged.
Objective: To find out the research on the impact of
myofacial release and stretching on wrist spasticity in
stroke patients.
Methodology: Review contains latest literature, studies
included within last 15 years. They were entered into
PubMed & Google scholar. The population which was
selected adults with spasticity developed after stroke. A
systematic literature search was evaluated 74 articles with
key words myofacial release & stretching. There are 10
studies are available on pubmed with the keywords of
stretching, myofacial Release & stroke but only 3 studies
are available on myofacial release and spasticity in last 15
yr. Studies written in English language were only
included.
Conclusion: It is anticipated that myofascial release and
static stretching will reduce spasticity in stroke patients.
Myofacial Release is effective in reducing the spasticity
along with conventional physiotherapy in stroke patients
& the study as well suggested that stretching also helps to
reduce the spasticity through prolonged muscle stretch.
