The intent of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of massage therapy in the rehabilitation of post-anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction patellofemoral pain syndrome. The primary complications following surgical repair of the anterior cruciate ligament-classified as patellofemoral pain syndrome-are hamstring flexion contracture and quadriceps weakness, leading to patellofemoral dysfunction and retropatellar pain.
Treatment included lymphatic drainage, myofascial release, neuromuscular techniques including trigger point release, muscle energy techniques and cross-fiber friction. Orthopedic physical assessment tests were used to chart changes in patellofemoral function and changes in range of motion in the knee during the course of the massage interventions. Subjective reporting on pain level and function were also documented.
A decrease in pain level, hamstring flexion contracture and lateral tracking of the patella were documented.
Massage therapy was determined to be an effective complementary therapy in the treatment of patellofemoral pain syndrome.
本研究旨在确定按摩疗法在前交叉韧带重建术后髌股疼痛综合征康复中的有效性。前交叉韧带手术修复后主要并发症(归类为髌股疼痛综合征)为腘绳肌屈曲挛缩和股四头肌无力,导致髌股功能障碍和髌后疼痛。
治疗包括淋巴引流、肌筋膜松解、神经肌肉技术,包括触发点释放、肌肉能量技术和横向纤维摩擦。在按摩干预过程中,采用骨科体格评估测试来记录髌股功能的变化以及膝关节活动范围的变化。还记录了关于疼痛程度和功能的主观报告。
记录到疼痛程度、腘绳肌屈曲挛缩和髌骨外侧轨迹均有所降低。
按摩疗法被确定为治疗髌股疼痛综合征的一种有效辅助疗法。
