Analysis of Outcome of Iastm and Motor Control Training Exercises in Chronic Nonspecific Neck Pain- A Literature Review
Main Article Content
Abstract
Mechanical Neck pain seems to be the most frequent issue described by many people in their daily life. Neck discomfort has been demonstrated to be a risk factor for decreased general job productivity in young people and is connected with impairment and a much worse quality of life. It is recognized as a medical and socioeconomic burden and one of the frequent reasons behind job absenteeism.IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization) is a soft tissue manipulation method using a metal instrument over the fascia. Instruments are utilized mechanically to stimulate soft tissue structures during the Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) treatment, which reduces musculoskeletal pain and suffering while also enhancing mobility and function. Utilizing an Accel instrument, which was ergonomically created to help doctors identify and treat soft tissue pain, damage, and dysfunction, is a component of this specific method.However, the therapy methods that primarily focus on motor control, activation of deep cervical muscles, and trying to retrain the cervical muscles' ideal control and coordination are the motor control exercises.Primary objective was to assess the outcome of the IASTM and Motor Control Training Exercise program in subjects suffering from nonspecific neck pain which was chronic. Five electronic databases were searched to find the literature (MEDLINE, PubMed, Cochrane, Google Scholar, and CINAHL). The systematic review comprised articles with complete texts that were published between 2013 and 2023, nine of which were studies.
