Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of
physiotherapy in arthrogenic muscle inhibition. We searched
the PEDro, Embase, Scielo and PubMed databases to identify
randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of physiotherapy
interventions in arthrogenic muscle inhibition. The literature
included references in English, Spanish and Portuguese,
published between January 2000 and June 2017. We identified 7
clinical trials and 4 Systematic Review/Meta-analysis that were
included in this review. A critical evaluation of the literature
was made and a narrative description was processed due to the
small number of RCTs. Evidence shows that physiotherapeutic
intervention may be beneficial for the management of
arthrogenic muscle inhibition, however, the low quality result
of the critical evaluation and the small number of trials suggest
that high quality RCTs are required to further examine the
effects of physiotherapeutic intervention in the control of
arthrogenic muscle inhibition.
