Unilateral vs Bilateral Application of Muscle Energy Techniques in Pelvic Somatic Dysfunction
Sponsor: The Touro College and University System
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy of pelvic muscle energy technique online against the traditional full length osteopathic pelvic treatment protocol. The main question it aims to answer are • Can one single pelvic muscle energy technique can correct all pelvic somatic dysfunctions (SD)? Participants will * be positioned by the physician into the area of treatment into a position of resistance, which is the restrictive barrier. * be instructed to use the targeted muscles for 3-5 seconds in the direction of ease while the physician provides a counterforce. * be instructed to stop contracting their muscles and evaluate the area for decreased tension, then repositions the patient into their new restrictive barrier. * These steps are repeated three to five times and then the dysfunction is reevaluated. Subjects diagnosed with pelvic SD will be divided into two groups. One group will be treated with traditional one and be compared with the pelvic muscle energy group.

Osteopathic Treatment Technique- Muscle Energy Treatment
Muscle Energy Treatment involves a patient actively using their muscles on request from a precisely controlled position, in a specific direction, against a distinctly executed counter force. During Muscle Energy Treatment, the physician positions the area of treatment into a position of resistance, which is the restrictive barrier. The physician then instructs the patient to use the targeted muscles for 3-5 seconds in the direction of ease while the physician provides a counterforce. The physician then tells the patient to stop contracting their muscles and evaluate the area for decreased tension, then repositions the patient into their new restrictive barrier. These steps are repeated three to five times and then the dysfunction is reevaluated.
