The Effects of Muscle Energy Technique on Cervical Range of Motion
Journal of Manual and Manipulative Therapy, 1994AbstractThe purpose of this study was to determine if a four week treatment period of muscle energy technique (MET) would significantly increase cervical flexion, extension, sidebending, and rotation in asymptomatic persons with limited range of motion (ROM).

The Effects of Muscle Energy Technique on Lumbar Range of Motion
Journal of Manual and Manipulative Therapy, 1997AbstractThis study examined whether the application of a muscle energy technique (MET) to the lumbar spine could significantly influence lumbar extension range of motion in an asymptomatic population. Twenty-six volunteer subjects, with limited range of motion in lumbar extension, were randomly assigned to either a control group or a treatment group ...

The effect of muscle energy technique on gross trunk range of motion [PDF]
Journal of Osteopathic Medicine, 2003 Muscle Energy Technique (MET) is used commonly by osteopaths and other musculoskeletal therapists but despite its widespread use there is little evidence to support its effectiveness in the treatment of spinal dysfunction.

Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation, 2019
BACKGROUND: Fibromyalgia is characterized by a chronic and common musculoskeletal system pain that affects cervical mobility and inspiration. This may cause changes in thoracic mechanics. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effectiveness of the muscle energy technique applied to cervical accessory respiratory muscles on respiratory muscle strength and ...

Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies, 2008
Variations in the application of muscle energy technique (MET) for increasing the extensibility of muscles have been advocated, but little evidence exists to support the relative merit of a particular approach. This study investigated two types of muscle energy techniques that have been advocated in the osteopathic literature that differ primarily in ...

Soft Tissue Manipulation: Neuromuscular and Muscle Energy Techniques
Journal of Neuroscience Nursing, 1997Muscle rigidity and spasms occur with neurological disease and may contribute to contractures and shortening of muscle fibers that can interfere with motor behaviors, such as ambulation, or activities of daily living, such as combing hair, feeding or dressing. The neuromuscular technique (NMT) and muscle energy technique (MET) are nursing interventions
