PIR and MR are highly effective in improving musculoskeletal function, increasing range of motion, alleviating pain, and decreasing muscle stiffness in trunk and limbs.
“The reports indicate that PIR and MR are highly effective in improving the functioning of the musculoskeletal system, increasing the range of motion in the joints, alleviating pain and decreasing muscle stiffness.”
From The Application of Manual Techniques in Masticatory Muscles Relaxation as Adjunctive Therapy in the Treatment of Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (2021) · cites this paper as [34]
The Conclusion reports that muscle energy technique (MET) increased restricted trunk rotation in asymptomatic subjects. The study does not establish that PIR and MR are highly effective across the trunk and limbs, or that they alleviate pain or decrease muscle stiffness; the Conclusion calls for future research using pain and disability measures. Page numbers are unavailable in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.88)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredReports on trunk and limbs soft-tissue therapy indicate a significant effect of PIR on minimization of pain and increasing range of motion in joints.
“These reports indicate a significant effect of PIR on the minimization of pain and increasing the range of motion in the joints [16,27,32,33,34], accompanied by a decrease in muscle electrical activity [35].”
From The Application of Manual Techniques in Masticatory Muscles Relaxation as Adjunctive Therapy in the Treatment of Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (2021) · cites this paper as [34]
The Abstract and Conclusion (page numbers unavailable) report a significant increase in restricted trunk rotation after muscle energy technique in asymptomatic volunteers. The paper did not test pain reduction or limb-joint motion, and it does not explicitly identify the intervention as PIR. The Conclusion calls for future research using pain indicators in symptomatic subjects. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
