Abstract
Objectives: To explore the acute intervention effects of tissue flossing on chronic knee pain (CKP) in boxers.
Methods: Eighteen boxers with CKP (12 male/6 female) were randomly divided into an experimental group (EG) with tissue flossing (n = 9) and a control group (CG) (n = 9). The visual analog scale (VAS), Lysholm knee function score, flexion range of motion (ROM), maximal isometric extensor muscle strength, and stability of the knee were measured pre- and post-intervention (EG: 3-minute tissue flossing, CG: rest).
Results: VAS (F = 15.849, p = 0.001, η2p = 0.498) and Lysholm knee function (F = 9.327, p = 0.008, η2p = 0.357) significantly improved more in the EG than in the CG. There was a significant difference for maximal isometric extensor muscle strength (F = 17.769, p = 0.001, η2p = 0.542) and knee stability (F = 13.844, p = 0.002, η2p = 0.464) but no significant difference for ROM (F = 1.218, p = 0.287, η2p = 0.075) between the EG and CG.
Conclusion: Tissue flossing can reduce knee pain, improve knee function, increase knee extensor strength, and improve knee stability in boxers with CKP.
目的:探讨组织牙线对拳击手慢性膝关节疼痛的急性干预作用。方法:将18名CKP拳击手(男12名,女6名)随机分为实验组(EG)和对照组(CG),分别采用组织牙线治疗(n = 9)和对照组(n = 9),在干预前和干预后(EG:组织牙线治疗3分钟,CG:休息)测量视觉模拟量表(VAS)、Lysholm膝关节功能评分、屈曲活动度(ROM)、最大等距伸肌力量和膝关节稳定性。结果:VAS (F = 15.849, p = 0.001, η 2 p = 0.498)和Lysholm膝关节功能(F = 9.327, p = 0.008, η 2 p = 0.357)显著改善EG组优于CG组。EG组和CG组的最大等距伸肌力量(F = 17.769, p = 0.001, η 2 p = 0.542)和膝关节稳定性(F = 13.844, p = 0.002, η 2 p = 0.464)差异有统计学意义,但ROM (F = 1.218, p = 0.287, η 2 p = 0.075)差异无统计学意义。结论:组织牙线可减轻CKP拳击手膝关节疼痛,改善膝关节功能,增加膝关节伸肌力量,改善膝关节稳定性。
期刊介绍:
The translation of new discoveries in medicine to clinical routine has never been easy. During the second half of the last century, thanks to the progress in chemistry, biochemistry and pharmacology, we have seen the development and the application of a large number of drugs and devices aimed at the treatment of symptoms, blocking unwanted pathways and, in the case of infectious diseases, fighting the micro-organisms responsible. However, we are facing, today, a dramatic change in the therapeutic approach to pathologies and diseases. Indeed, the challenge of the present and the next decade is to fully restore the physiological status of the diseased organism and to completely regenerate tissue and organs when they are so seriously affected that treatments cannot be limited to the repression of symptoms or to the repair of damage. This is being made possible thanks to the major developments made in basic cell and molecular biology, including stem cell science, growth factor delivery, gene isolation and transfection, the advances in bioengineering and nanotechnology, including development of new biomaterials, biofabrication technologies and use of bioreactors, and the big improvements in diagnostic tools and imaging of cells, tissues and organs.
In today`s world, an enhancement of communication between multidisciplinary experts, together with the promotion of joint projects and close collaborations among scientists, engineers, industry people, regulatory agencies and physicians are absolute requirements for the success of any attempt to develop and clinically apply a new biological therapy or an innovative device involving the collective use of biomaterials, cells and/or bioactive molecules. “Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology” aspires to be a forum for all people involved in the process by bridging the gap too often existing between a discovery in the basic sciences and its clinical application.
