Brief Summary

To investigate the effect of muscle energy technique on Femoral meralgia paraesthesia in a postpartum female. BACKGROUND: meralgia paraesthesia is one of the serious disorders in the postpartum female which results in pain and less physical activities. ………HYPOTHESES: This study hypothesized that: muscle energy technique will have a significant effect on Femoral meralgia paraesthesia in postpartum female

Conditions

Meralgia Paresthetica; Femoral Neuropathy

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Femoral nerve conduction latency

  Femoral nerve conduction latency measured via the Neuropack S1 MEB9004 EMG device

  4 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Pelvic compression test

  four weeks

• Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)

  four weeks

Study Arms (2)

study group

EXPERIMENTAL

received the conventional selected exercise program in addition to muscle energy technique

Other: muscle energy technique; Other: conventional selected physical therapy

control group

EXPERIMENTAL

received the conventional selected exercise program

Other: conventional selected physical therapy

Interventions

muscle energy technique OTHER

the patient was supine and the therapist fix the lower limb of the affected side then ask the patient to perform isometric contraction for abductors maintained for 3-5 seconds, then the patient was instructed to stop, exhale and relax then the therapist perform further adducted the patient's knee of the affected side as a stretching exercise for Three to five repetitions of these directions were performed.

study group

conventional selected physical therapy OTHER

1. life style modification 2. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) 3. Flexibility stretching exercises to the hip flexors
