Interventions
Autogenic Inhibition (AI) MET (Post Facilitation Stretch)
Autogenic Inhibition (AI) MET (Post Facilitation Stretch) 1. The shortened muscle (Tensor Fascia Latae) is placed in a mid-range position about halfway between a fully stretched and a fully relaxed state. 2. The patient contracts the muscle isometrically, using a maximum degree of effort for 5-10 seconds while the effort is resisted completely. 3. On release of the effort, a rapid stretch is made to a new barrier, without any 'bounce', and this is held for at least 10 seconds. 4. The patient relaxes for approximately 20 seconds and the procedure is repeated between three and five times more.
Reciprocal Inhibition (RI) MET
Reciprocal Inhibition (RI) MET 1. The shortened muscle (Tensor Fascia Latae) is placed in a mid-range position about halfway between a fully stretched and a fully relaxed state. 2. The patient contracts the antagonist muscles (hip adductors), using a maximum degree of effort for 5-10 seconds while the effort is resisted completely. 3. On release of the effort, a rapid stretch to TFL is made to a new barrier, without any 'bounce', and this is held for at least 10 seconds. 4. The patient relaxes for approximately 20 seconds and the procedure is repeated between three and five times more.
