Immidate Effect of Instrument Assited Soft Tissue Mobilization Technique on Chronic Neck Pain

July 7, 2022 updated by: KTO Karatay University

Immidate Effect of Instrument Assited Soft Tissue Mobilization Technique on Pain and Joint Position Sense in Individuals With Chronic Neck Pain

Chronic neck pain causes errors in joint position. There are studies in the literature suggesting that the application of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization improves the sense of joint position. There are no studies that acutely examine this practice on joint position sense and pain in the cervical region. As a result of our study, we will investigate the effects of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization in a single session on perception of pain and joint position.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization
In the application group, Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization will be applied to the Trapezius and Sternocleideomastoideus muscles for 90 seconds.
Other: Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization
Bilateral Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization application will be applied in a single session to the trapezius and sternocleideomastoideus muscles.
Sham Comparator: Sham Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization
In the sham application group, 90 degrees to 90 seconds will be applied to the Trapezius and Sternocleideomastoideus muscles without applying pressure.
Other: Sham
Bilateral sham Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization application will be applied in a single session to the trapezius and sternocleideomastoideus muscles.
No Intervention: Control
No application will be made to the control group.
