Research Progress on the Therapeutic Effect and Mechanism of Mulligan Mobilization with Movement for Musculoskeletal Diseases
The study reviewed the effectiveness of Mulligan mobilization with movement in treating different musculoskeletal diseases,including rotator cuff injury,external humeral epi-condylitis,low back pain,and chronic ankle instability,and explored the intervention mecha-nism of this technique.It was found that Mulligan mobilization with movement had significant immediate effects in treating common musculoskeletal system diseases,with effects including pain reduction,increased joint mobility,improved limb function,with significant advantages in improving joint mobility.Further research is needed on the long-term effects of Mulligan mobi-lization with movement.The potential therapeutic mechanisms of Mulligan mobilization with movement can be divided into two aspects:1)Biomechanically,it may correct minute misalign-ments in two articular surfaces through specially oriented dynamic joint sliding,which in turn strengthened weak muscles and stretched tense muscles,allowing for restoration of body func-tions;2)neurophysiologically,it optimized functional connections between brain regions that process pain,reduced spinal cord excitability and pain sensitivity,reduced TNF-α,IL-6 inflam-matory factors,and promoted the release of neurotransmitters such as endorphins and 5-hy-droxytryptamine.
