Two national-level younger football players were clinically diagnosed with the adductor strain. They had severe pain on medial aspect of the thigh, aggravated with kicking and functional activity (VAS- 8/10, LEFS 58/80, 69/80). The therapist assessed the patients and designed their rehabilitation protocol as per their findings of the examination.
The lower extremity functional scale (LEFS), global rating scale, and VAS were used as outcome variables. The total intervention was given for 10-12 weeks, follow up had been taken for 4 months.
The application of dry needling reduced the pain, improved and relieved the symptoms. The eccentric strengthening of the adductors and core stability improved the strength as well as functional activity of the lower limb. The case study is not generalized the effect of treatment. Thus, a randomized control trial is suggested for further study.
方法:两名国家级年轻足球运动员被临床诊断为内收肌拉伤。他们大腿内侧有剧烈疼痛,加重踢和功能活动(VAS-8/10,LEFS58/80,69/80)。治疗师根据检查结果评估患者并设计其康复方案。
结果:下肢功能量表(LEFS),全球评级量表,和VAS作为结果变量。总干预时间为10-12周,随访4个月。
结论:使用干针减轻了疼痛,改善和缓解症状。内收肌的偏心加强和核心稳定性改善了下肢的强度和功能活动。案例研究并不概括治疗效果。因此,随机对照试验建议进一步研究。
