Effects of High-intensity Continuous Ultrasound on Infrapatellar Fat Pad Stiffness and Gliding in Healthy Participants: A Randomized, Single-blind, Placebo-controlled Crossover Trial
Objective
Ultrasound therapy effectively treats a joint range of motion limitation and pain originating from soft tissue in knee osteoarthritis (OA). Few interventional studies have focused on the infrapatellar fat pad (IFP), and the effects of high-intensity continuous ultrasound (HICUS) on IFP stiffness and gliding have not been investigated. Therefore, we aimed to determine the effects of HICUS on IFP stiffness and gliding.
Methods
This single-blind, randomized, controlled crossover study involved 24 healthy participants. The HICUS and placebo conditions were applied to the knee joint on 2 different days. HICUS was performed (1 MHz, 2.5 W/cm², duty cycle 100%, 5 min) using an ultrasound machine equipped with an applicator and adsorption-type fixed automatic rotation irradiation function. The main outcomes were IFP stiffness and gliding measured at 10 degrees and 120 degrees knee flexion. Gliding was measured as the difference between the patellar-tendon tibial angles at 10 degrees and 120 degrees knee flexion. Measurements were performed before (T1), immediately after (T2), and 15 min after (T3) treatment.
Results
Two-way repeated measures analysis of variance showed a significant interaction of IFP stiffness at 10 degrees knee flexion; post-test results showed that HICUS decreased stiffness at T2 and T3. There was no significant difference at 120 degrees. A significant interaction of gliding was observed under the HICUS condition. Post-tests showed that HICUS significantly improved gliding at T2 and T3.
Conclusion
HICUS is a simple, safe intervention for improving IFP stiffness and gliding in healthy participants, with sustained effects. Further studies are needed to evaluate its efficacy in patients.
期刊介绍：
Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology is the official journal of the World Federation for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology. The journal publishes original contributions that demonstrate a novel application of an existing ultrasound technology in clinical diagnostic, interventional and therapeutic applications, new and improved clinical techniques, the physics, engineering and technology of ultrasound in medicine and biology, and the interactions between ultrasound and biological systems, including bioeffects. Papers that simply utilize standard diagnostic ultrasound as a measuring tool will be considered out of scope. Extended critical reviews of subjects of contemporary interest in the field are also published, in addition to occasional editorial articles, clinical and technical notes, book reviews, letters to the editor and a calendar of forthcoming meetings. It is the aim of the journal fully to meet the information and publication requirements of the clinicians, scientists, engineers and other professionals who constitute the biomedical ultrasonic community.
