Comparison of effects of autogenic inhibition and reciprocal inhibition muscle energy techniques on iliotibial band syndrome
A single-blinded randomized control trial will be conducted over a period of one year in Foundation University Islamabad. Forty participants will be assigned to two groups: Group A (AI) and Group B (RI), with 20 participants each. The AI technique will involve a maximal isometric contraction of the target muscle followed by a stretch, while the RI technique will involve a maximal isometric contraction of the antagonist muscle followed by a similar stretching protocol. Both groups will perform the exercises 3 times per week for 2 weeks. Pain, Hip range of motion (ROM) and lower extremity function will be assessed using Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), goniometer and Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS) respectively.
The outcomes will be measured in terms of improvements in pain score (NPRS), hip range of motion (ROM), and overall lower extremity function.
