■手术后康复中经常使用电刺激(ES)和通过受激辐射(LASER)治疗的光放大;但是,目前没有足够的研究来比较它们的有效性。本研究旨在通过比较ES和LASER疗法与运动结合,评估内侧髌骨脱位(MPL)手术矫正后术后康复的有效性。将其与仅由所有者实施的术后家庭锻炼组成的对照组进行比较。
■我们对接受MPL手术治疗的狗进行了前瞻性临床试验。将狗分为以下三组:对照组,没有参加任何术后康复计划;ES组,接受了包括ES治疗的术后康复治疗;激光组,接受了以激光疗法为特征的术后康复。
■在评估参数方面,各组之间没有显着差异,包括跛行得分,疼痛评分,大腿肌肉周长,和运动范围。尽管某些组的疼痛评分可能存在差异,这可能归因于患者的术前状况。这些结果与所有者问卷的犬简短疼痛清单评估一致,显示治疗组之间无显著差异。
■MPL矫正的术后康复可能会增强肢体使用率,联合功能,肌肉质量,和疼痛缓解。然而,术后疼痛的持续时间和程度可能会影响康复的必要性.此外,ES和激光疗法在MPL手术后提供类似的疼痛缓解效果;因此,这些方法之间的选择取决于设备的可用性和兽医的喜好。
UNASSIGNED: Electrical stimulation (ES) and light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation (LASER) therapy are frequently used in post-operative rehabilitation; however, there is currently insufficient research comparing their effectiveness. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of post-operative rehabilitation following medial patellar luxation (MPL) surgical correction by comparing ES and LASER therapy when combined with exercise. This was compared with a control group that consisted solely of post-operative home exercise implemented by the owner.
UNASSIGNED: We conducted a prospective clinical trial on dogs that had undergone surgical treatment for MPL. The dogs were categorized into the following three groups: The control group, which did not participate in any post-operative rehabilitation program; the ES group, which received post-operative rehabilitation involving ES therapy; and the LASER group, which underwent post-operative rehabilitation featuring LASER therapy.
UNASSIGNED: There were no significant differences among the groups regarding the evaluation parameters, including lameness score, pain score, thigh muscle circumference, and range of motion. Although there may have been a difference in pain score in some groups, it could be attributed to the pre-operative condition of patients. These results aligned with the owner questionnaires\' canine brief pain inventory assessments, showing no significant differences between treatment groups.
UNASSIGNED: Post-operative rehabilitation for MPL correction may enhance limb usage, joint function, muscle mass, and pain relief. However, the duration and level of post-operative pain may influence the necessity for rehabilitation. In addition, ES and LASER therapy offer similar pain-relieving effects after MPL surgery; therefore, the choice between these methods depends on the availability of equipment and veterinarian preferences.
