The aim of the present study was to investigate the use of matrix rhythm therapy (MRT) as one of the electrotherapeutic modalities in clinics.
This study was carried out in the Burn and Wound Treatment Department of Dr. Lütfi Kırdar Kartal Education and Research Hospital in Istanbul between October 2010 and August 2011. A treatment protocol including whirlpool, MRT and exercise was applied to a group of patients who had burn injury of upper extremity. The evaluation of each patient included assessment of pain, range of motion, muscle strength, skin flexibility and sensory function at pre- and post-treatment.
There was no significant difference in values of pain, muscle strength and flexibility between pre- and post-treatment assessments (p>0.05). A significant increase was found in the range of motion and sensory function at pre-treatment according to post-treatment (p<0.01).
The usage of MRT in order to maintain and improve the range of motion and to minimise the development of scar tissue was investigated in this study. We suggest conducting randomised controlled studies that carry out a comparison of the MRT with other treatment modalities with more cases and investigate the long-term effects of MRT.
本研究旨在探讨基质节律疗法（MRT）作为临床电治疗方式之一的应用。
本研究于2010年10月至2011年8月在伊斯坦布尔吕特菲·基尔达尔卡塔尔教育与研究医院的烧伤与伤口治疗科开展。对一组上肢烧伤患者采用了包括漩涡浴、MRT和运动在内的治疗方案。对每位患者的评估包括治疗前和治疗后对疼痛、关节活动范围、肌肉力量、皮肤柔韧性和感觉功能的评估。
治疗前和治疗后评估的疼痛、肌肉力量和柔韧性值无显著差异（p>0.05）。与治疗后相比，治疗前关节活动范围和感觉功能有显著增加（p<0.01）。
本研究探讨了使用MRT来维持和改善关节活动范围以及尽量减少瘢痕组织形成的情况。我们建议开展随机对照研究，将MRT与其他治疗方式进行更多病例的比较，并研究MRT的长期效果。
