Pengaruh Kinesio Tapping dan Muscle Energy Technique Terhadap Penurunan Nyeri Myofascial Pain Syndrome Otot Upper Trapezius Pada Penjahit Di Adieva Konveksi

Abstract

Occupation is often associated with musculoskeletal disorders, one of which is a worker as tailor. Activities as tailor performed with a head position that bowing for a long time and static, it resulted in work of upper trapezius muscle to work excessively causing complaints myofascial pain syndrome upper trapezius muscle. The purpose of this research is to know the effect of kinesio tapping and muscle energy technique to decrease pain of myofascial pain syndrome upper trapezius muscle in tailor. This research uses quasi exsperimental by using pre and post test with control group design. Respondents were 18 people consisting of two groups, namely the treatment and control group. This study was conducted for 2 weeks with doses of kinesio tapping 2 times a week and muscle energy technique 3 times a week. Result of influence test in treatment group obtained p <0,05 then there is influence of kinesio tapping and muscle energy technique to pain, while in control group obtained p <0,05 then there is influence of giving muscle energy technique only. In different test the influence of the treatment group and the control group showed that there was difference of influence, because the result of p <0,05.There is effect of kinesio tapping and muscle energy technique to decrease pain of myofascial pain syndrome upper trapezius muscle in tailor
