Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the effects of muscle energy technique (MET) and shoulder joint mobilization on pain and shoulder stiffness in athletes. Materials and methods: A thorough search was done from April 2013 to April 2023 in the Cochrane Library, PubMed, PEDro, and Google Scholar. Data extraction required access to the whole texts of all research that might have been pertinent. Results: In total, 298 articles of RCT were discovered following the key phrase search. After removing duplicates, abstracts of the remaining 28 examining articles revealed that 18 did not match the requirements, leaving ten articles to be included. Conclusion: This study came to the conclusion that the muscle energy method and shoulder joint mobilization enhance range of motion (ROM) and lessen discomfort in athletes with tight shoulders.
