PENGARUH RELAKSASI OTOT PROGRESIF TERHADAP RANGE OF MOTION LEHER PADA KASUS MYOFASCIAL PAIN SYNDROME OTOT UPPER TRAPEZIUS PADA PENJAHIT

Background: Tailor is one of the occupations that is at risk of experiencing myofascial pain syndrome, because the tailors works for a long time causing the neck muscle contract continuously. Myofascial pain syndrome also causes a decrease of muscle flexibility resulting in a decrease range of motion neck. One of the treatments to increase range of motion neck in the case of myofascial pain syndrome is progressive muscle relaxation. Objective: to determine effect of progressive muscle relaxation for range of motion neck in tailors in Alabio city who experience myofascial pain syndrome of the upper trapezius muscle. Metode: This study used pre-experiment one group pretest-posttest design with 14 respondents. This study compared range of motion of lateral flexion before and after the intervention was given, using the wilcoxon test. Result: Wilcoxon test results obtained a significance value of 0.156 (right) and 0.106 (left) which means there is no significant effect of progressive muscle relaxation to increase range of motion lateral flexion. Conclusion: There was no effect of progressive muscle relaxation on range of motion neck in myofascial pain syndrome case of upper trapezius muscle in tailors in Alabio city
