Abstract
Relevance. The relevance of this research consists in identifying the mechanism of the neurological response to manual muscle testing (MMT). It is important to substantiate the two-stage performance of MMT, and to establish how MMT can be used for neurological diagnostics and appropriate treatment.
Objective. Instrumental verification of manual muscle testing, and interpretation of its results based on N. Bernstein’s theory.
Methods. 300 hundred patients with muscle pain syndromes were involved in this research. Computer dynamography and vector myography were used. MMT in patients with reflex pain made it possible to detect a decrease in reflexes in antagonistic muscles which we called muscle hypotension. These symptoms were regarded as hidden compression syndromes. Nerve decompression was performed which released muscle pain and spasm.
Results.1. Performance of manual muscle testing that involves two stages is confirmed by instrumental diagnostics.
2.Two-stage performance of MMT is consistent with the tonic phase of muscle contraction (N. Bernstein).
3.MMT provides a way to establish functional hypotension.
Conclusions. This research enabled us to develop a new approach to treating patients with muscle pain syndromes of reflex-based origin. MMT makes it possible to detect hidden compression syndromes, and to provide therapy based on pathogenetic substantiation. Future research could involve the study of adaptation possibilities of the nervous system when exposed to the environment.
