PERBEDAAN PENGARUH CONTRACT RELAX DAN MYOFASCIAL DECOMPRESSION TERHADAPPENINGKATAN ROM CERVICAL KASUSMYOFASCIAL PAIN SYNDROM UPPERTRAPEZIUS PADA REMAJA AKHIR

Background : Static body position, un-ergonomic, forward head position, and have upper trapezius muscle degeneration for long time period can cause spasm, adhesion, and reduction blood sirculation that can causes myofascial pain syndrome. Intervention that can applied to solve reducing ROM cervical because myofascial pain syndrome in upper trapezius muscle is contract relax and myofascial decompression. Purpose : analysis the difference of contract relax and myofascial pain syndrome effects for increasing ROM cervical. Research Method : Research design was pre experimental using two group pretest-posttest design. The population of this research was Informatics Engineering Students in UMM. The total sample was 40 respondences whom eligible in inclusion and exclusion criteria. Research instrument using a goniometer. Result : The results of Normality test, showing result that data is not normal. The results of Wilcoxon test for contract relax and myofascial decompression have similar value, those are 0.000. The result of mann-whitney is 0.004. The conclution : It has different effects between contract relax and myofascial decompression with analysis result myofascial decompression more effective than contract relax for increasing ROM cervical.
