“…Jų gauti rezultatai taip pat rodo, kad skausmas po gydymo labiau sumažėjo atliekant injekciją arba išeminę kompresiją į trigerinį tašką (Kim et al, 2017). Kito tyrimo metu nustatyta, kad 3 savaičių trukmės gydymas atliekant Skirtingų miofascijinių trigerinių taškų atpalaidavimo technikų poveikis ligonių po rotatorių manžetės chirurginio gydymo skausmui, funkcijai ir gyvenimo kokybei 5 minučių minkštųjų audinių mobilizaciją gali veiksmingai sumažinti trigerinių taškų sukeliamą skausmą (Gulick, 2018).…”

Tyrimo pagrindimas. Peties sąnario regiono raumenų ir minkštųjų audinių skausmas yra pagrin-dinė ne trauminės kilmės rankų skausmo priežastis (Tejera-Falcón et al., 2017). Miofascijinis atpa-laidavimas – sparčiai plintanti manualinės terapijos forma, kuria siekiama sumažinti skausmą, atkurti minkštųjų audinių funkcijas. Lėtinis judėjimo ir atramos aparato skausmas yra didelė našta sveikatos priežiūros sistemoms ir valstybės ekomomikai dėl žmonių, patiriančių šias problemas, blogėjančios gyvenimo kokybės (Laimi et al., 2018).Tikslas – nustatyti skirtingų miofascijinių trigerinių taškų atpalaidavimo technikų poveikį ligonių po rotatorių manžetės chirurginio gydymo skausmui, funkcijai ir gyvenimo kokybei.Metodai. Tirti savanoriai (n = 14), atitinkantys nustatytus atrankos kriterijus. Įvertintas tiriamųjų pažeisto peties sąnario skausmo intensyvumas, judesių amplitudė, izometrinė raumenų jėga ir sub- jektyvus funkcinių pokyčių bei gyvenimo kokybės vertinimas.Rezultatai. Po 14 dienų kineziterapijos pratimų taikant skirtingas miofascijinių trigerinių taškų atpalaidavimo technikas, skausmo intensyvumas reikšmingai sumažėjo (p < 0,05), izometrinė rau-menų jėga reikšmingai padidėjo (p < 0,05). Taikytas gydymas teigiamai paveikė funkcijos pokyčius ir gyvenimo kokybę (p < 0,05).Išvada. Skirtingų miofascijinių trigerinių taškų atpalaidavimo technikų taikymas yra veiksmin-gas mažinant miofascijinių trigerinių taškų sukeliamą skausmą, gerinant ligonių po rotatorių man-žetės chirurginio gydymo funkciją ir gyvenimo kokybę. Tarp grupių rodiklių po gydymo statistiškai reikšmingų skirtumų nenustatyta.

“…[2][3][4] Over the years, IASTM has become a popular treatment for soft tissue injuries involving myofascial restrictions and in increasing pain thresholds. 5 This therapy has been utilized over a variety of different treatment areas, almost all of which involving a musculoskeletal injury or pathology. [2][3][4] During the healing process of an injury or pathology, the human body will respond with an initial inflammatory response, followed by a proliferation phase, and then finally maturation of the new tissue.…”

“…2 Studies have been conducted to investigate the effect of IASTM on patient ROM and pain. 2,4,5 Results of these studies lack definitive findings in almost all cases, and in turn, many clinicians have been using IASTM without truly understanding the outcomes of the technique. Therefore, the purpose of this review was to assess the clinical effectiveness and efficacy of IASTM as a treatment protocol.…”

Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) is the use of specially designed instruments that provide a mobilizing effect to soft tissue to help with decreasing pain and improving range of motion. Over the years, there has been an increase in the use of IASTM as well as an increase in research for its effects on soft-tissue injuries, range of motion (ROM), and pain management; however, the results have not been supported as a whole. Evidence for the positive outcomes from the use of IASTM, in conjunction with therapeutic exercise or other interventions, has been lacking in many studies. As a result, clinicians question its effectiveness. The purpose of this evidence-to-practice review was to summarize the results of the systematic review and apply it to clinical practice. The authors of the guiding systematic review aimed to investigate the current state of available literature on the topic of IASTM, specifically using studies that compared IASTM pre & post-treatment and compared the IASTM group to other intervention or control groups. Seven total studies were included in the final review, and of those, five focused on IASTM treatment for musculoskeletal pain and two focused on IASTM treatment for joint ROM. Each study varied in methodology, interventions, treatment times, and outcome measures. Therefore, the systematic review was unable to make a direct comparison between all studies and results were deemed inconclusive. In conclusion, using IASTM as a stand-alone treatment is not recommended in any case. However, in the event the treatment is not contraindicated and the clinician is inclined to use the treatment for physiological improvement, then implementation and use of IASTM is not unreasonable and could potentially benefit the patient when used in conjunction with therapeutic exercise or other form of treatment.
