Abstract

Aim: Determining the effectiveness of the developed comprehensive physical rehabilitation program for athletes with chronic patellar tendinopathy. Materials and Methods: Participants were randomly divided into the main and control groups consisting of 11 people each. The complex rehabilitation program in the main group combined laser therapy and different types of therapeutic exercises, in the control group the laser therapy was excluded. The effectiveness of the intervention was evaluated by the intensity of pain in the patella (Visual Analog Scale) and the functional ability of the knee (VISA-P scale). Results: At the end of the intervention, a significant reduction in pain was observed in both groups. The average scores on the VAS scale were reduced to 2.0 points in the main group and to 3.5 in the control one. The share of patients, whose pain was eased, was 27.27 per cent in the main group, in the control group such people were not detected. After two months of intervention according to the results of the VISA-P scale in both study groups, there was an improvement in the functional capacity of the knee joint. Thus, the average number of points increased by 30.5 points in the main group, and by 12.0 in the control one. Conclusions: The use of high-frequency laser therapy in a comprehensive program of physical rehabilitation of patients with patellar tendinopathy shows better results for reducing pain and improving the functioning of the knee joint than without it. We believe that high-frequency laser therapy can be used as an important adjunct to various types of therapeutic exercises in the comprehensive rehabilitation of patients with patellar tendinopathy.

激光治疗在慢性髌骨肌腱病运动员体能康复综合方案中的应用
目的:确定开发的综合体能康复方案对慢性髌骨肌腱病运动员的有效性。材料与方法:研究对象随机分为主组和对照组,每组11人。在复杂康复方案中,主组将激光治疗与不同类型的治疗性运动相结合,对照组排除激光治疗。通过髌骨疼痛强度(视觉模拟量表)和膝关节功能能力(VISA-P量表)评估干预的有效性。结果:干预结束时,两组患者的疼痛均明显减轻。主组VAS平均评分降至2.0分,对照组降至3.5分。在主组中,疼痛得到缓解的患者比例为27.27%,而在对照组中,没有发现这样的患者。根据两个研究组的VISA-P量表结果,干预两个月后,膝关节功能能力均有改善。因此,主组的平均得分增加了30.5分,对照组的平均得分增加了12.0分。结论:高频激光治疗对髌骨肌腱病变患者进行综合康复治疗,在减轻疼痛和改善膝关节功能方面效果优于不使用高频激光治疗。我们认为高频激光治疗可以作为各种类型的治疗性运动的重要辅助,在髌骨肌腱病变患者的综合康复中。
