The aim of this study was to investigate the immediate effects of Mulligan's mobilization with movement (MWM) on elbow proprioception.
The study included 26 participants in the intervention group and 30 participants in the control group. The intervention group received MWM, while the control group received a sham application. Proprioception was assessed with joint position sense error at baseline, immediately after mobilization, and 30 minutes after mobilization with 70° and 110° of elbow flexion. The hypothesis of interest was the group × time interaction.
At 110° of elbow flexion, group × time interaction was significant (F[2, 108] = 11.48, P = .001). In the paired comparisons, there was a statistically significant difference in favor of the control group in the first measurement (P = .003). No difference was detected in other time points (P = 1.00). At 70° of elbow flexion, there was no significant difference between the time point × group interaction (F[2, 108] = 1.37, P = .10). Therefore, no pairwise comparison was made.
In this study of healthy participants, no immediate difference was found between MWM and sham application on elbow proprioception.
本研究旨在探讨 Mulligan 关节松动术（MWM）对肘部本体感觉的即刻影响。
本研究纳入 26 名干预组参与者和 30 名对照组参与者。干预组接受 MWM 治疗，对照组接受假治疗。在基线、松动后即刻以及 70°和 110°肘部屈曲后 30 分钟时，使用关节位置觉误差评估本体感觉。研究的主要假设为组间×时间交互作用。
在 110°肘部屈曲时，组间×时间交互作用显著（F[2, 108] = 11.48，P =.001）。在配对比较中，在第一次测量时，对照组具有统计学意义上的显著差异（P =.003）。在其他时间点未检测到差异（P = 1.00）。在 70°肘部屈曲时，时间点×组间交互作用无显著差异（F[2, 108] = 1.37，P =.10）。因此，未进行两两比较。
在这项针对健康参与者的研究中，MWM 与假治疗对肘部本体感觉的即刻影响无差异。
