ABSTRACT

Background: A Myofascial Kinetic Chain  is a group of muscles that are connected through  the fascia and are longitudinally positioned in the human body. If one of the structures within a meridian develops tension it will be distributed along entire myofascial continuum. Myofascial release techniques can be used to release the restricted or pathological fascial structures. Myofascial release is a hands-on soft tissue technique that facilitates stretch into the restricted fascia. Fascial scraping is done by superficial maneuvering of fascia by repeated fascial stroking in an effort to break the fascial adhesions.

Methodology: The study was performed on 30 girls with age 18-26 who has dysfunctions in posterior kinetic chain, of which 15 were in each of the two categories. Group A- treated with cranial base release and group B- treated with fascial scraping. Suboccipital length, Lumbar ROM, Pelvic tilt and Hamstring length was measured in 15 subjects of both the groups before the treatment and after 1 week of treatment.

Results:  The analysis between the groups was done by using paired t-test and independent   sample test. The analysis revealed significant result within the group and insignificant between the 2 groups.

Conclusion: Result of the study concluded that there is significant effect of both the techniques of Myofascial Release (Cranial Base Release and Fascial Scraping) of one segment in the extensibility of other segments of posterior kinetic chain.

Key words: Myokinetic Chain, Superficial Back Line, Cranial Base Release, Fascial Scraping.
