Investigation of the effect of soft tissue movement using a tool in comparison to manual stretching on hip range of motion, and muscle power in people with hamstring tightness

Latar Belakang: Instrumen Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) merupakan prosedur terapi yang mana menggunakan instrumen untuk secara mekanik menstimulus struktur jaringan lunak untuk mengurangi nyeri otot, ketidaknyamanan, dan meningkatkan secara keseluruhan mobilitas dan fungsi Self Myofascial Release (SMFR) merupakan salah satu teknik manual terapi dengan cara memberikan tekanan pada otot dan fascia yang bertujuan untuk menambah Range of Motion (ROM), mengurangi nyeri, dan meningkatkan fungsi. Tujuan: Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui efek akut perubahan fleksibilitas otot hamstring setelah diberikan IASTM dan SMFR, juga mengetahui adanya perbedaan efek akut antara pemberian IASTM dan SMFR pada perubahan fleksibilitas otot hamtring. Metode: Penelitian eksperimen dengan membandingan pre dan post tes dari dua kelompok yang berbeda perlakuan. Kelompok pertama diberikan perlakuan teknik IASTM, kelompok kedua diberikan perlakuan SMFR. Data yang dikumpulkan dianalisa menggunakan paired t-test dan mann-whitney test. Hasil: Hasil penelitian menunjukkan efek akut IASTM terhadap fleksibilitas otot hamstring (p = 0,001), efek akut SMFR terhadap fleksibilitas otot hamstring (p = 0,000), Perbedaan pengaruh antara passive dan active MFR terhadap ketegangan otot (p = 0,134). Kesimpulan: Terdapat peningkatan fleksibilitas otot hamstring pada grup 1 dan grup 2. Tidak ada beda pengaruh yang signifikan antara pemberian IASTM atau SMFR terhadap fleksibilitas otot hamstring. Kata Kunci: Hamstring, instrumen assisted soft tissue mobilization, fleksibilitas, self myofascial release.

Rehabilitation Protocol

Abstract Background: Subcutaneous, spontaneous, complete ruptures of the Achilles tendon are usually caused indirectly by trauma associated with rapid movement. When minimally invasive Achilles tendon repair is performed, an active rehabilitation protocol can be implemented that allows for fast, measurable progress, reduced tissue atrophy, and an improved range of motion, thereby reducing pain and increasing patients’ overall physical well-being. However, overestimating the effectiveness of rehabilitative interventions can lead to arbitrary advancements in rehabilitation that significantly exceed the permitted levels of daily or professional activity. This issue can lead to various side effects and slow rehabilitation. The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of adverse effects on objective outcomes after minimally invasive Achilles tendon repair.Methods: The study included 36 individuals with complete Achilles tendon rupture who underwent the percutaneous Ma-Griffith technique. The same rehabilitation protocol was used.Results: Five side effects were identified during rehabilitation: deformation of the repair construct (DRC), irritation of the sural nerve (SNI), morning ankle stiffness (MAS), edema of the soft tissue around the tendon (OST) and suture knots. DRC and MAS were associated with a longer time being required to achieve full ankle range of motion. SNI and OST were associated with a longer time being required to meet the criteria for dynamic training. None of the side effects were related to the isokinetic strength of the ankle plantar and dorsiflexors.Conclusions: The incidence of the assessed side effects in the postoperative period is not related to the type of activity, whether it is professional or amateur. Among the identified side effects, deformation of the regenerated shape of the heel tendon and MAS cause a delay in the recovery of full ankle range of motion. Calf nerve irritation and soft tissue swelling increase the time it takes to meet the criteria for starting dynamic training.Trial registration:The study was approved by the ethics committee of the Academy of Physical Education in Katowice (no. 13/2007)

Physical Impact

Objective: Impingement syndromes are recognized as an important cause of chronic ankle pain, which results from the entrapment of an inflamed soft-tissue component between the osteophytes. The predominant site of occurrence is the anterolateral aspect of the ankle for soft-tissue impingement, and anteromedial aspect for bony impingement. Symptoms related to the physical impact of bone or soft-tissue pain often result in limited ankle range of motion. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of 34 patients (34 ankles) with anteromedial bony impingement. All patients underwent arthroscopy, with a mean follow-up of 34 months. Results: All osteophytes were removed, and the ankle range of motion improved. The AOFAS score improved from 73 preoperatively to 95 postoperatively. Conclusion: The arthroscopic removal of the anteromedial osteophytes of the ankle had excellent functional results. It is an effective procedure that allows rapid patient recovery.
