Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the therapeutic effects of slotted manuduction on knee extension apparatus-induced traumatic adhesion in multiple medical institutions. Methods: A total of 160 patients with knee extension apparatus induced traumatic adhesion who were admitted in our hospital from January 2017 to December 2017 were selected, and randomly divided into two groups: experimental group and control group, (n=80). There were 44 males and 36 females in the experimental group, with mean age of (45.95±9.48) years old, which was treated with slotted manuduction; and 43 males and 37 females in the control group, with mean age of (46.52±9.07) years old, which received traditional treatment. The treatment was performed once per day for 30 days, with 30 minutes once a time. Informed consent was obtained from each patient. Main outcome measures: The degree of knee joint activities, score of knee joint actively flexural behavior function, and the grading of joint function prior to and after treatment, as well as therapeutic effects were compared in two groups. Results: The significant effective rate was 90.00% in the experimental group and 76.25% in the control group (P<0.05), the former group more effective than the latter group. Comparing the degree of knee joint activities, score of knee joint function, score of knee joint actively flexural behavior function, and the grading score of joint function, the experimental group was better than the control group (P<0.01). Conclusion: Slotted manuduction has an extract and safe effect on treating knee extension apparatus induced traumatic adhesion, which has high operational and promotional value.
Highlights
Knee extension apparatus induced traumatic adhesion refers to fiber stiffness induced by trauma, manifested with varying degrees of genuflex functional limitation
It is a common sequela of upper knee periarticular fracture or trauma in clinic, which is caused by a long-time fixation for femoral condyle or tibial tubercle traction due to patella fracture, femoral shaft fracture, proximal tibia fracture, femoral condyle fracture, dislocation of knee joint and many other reasons, causing great difficulties to patients' life and work [1,2,3,4]
After several years of experience learned in clinical practice, we have explored a set of techniques of four-finger acupressure and extension genuflex for the treatment of knee extension apparatus induced traumatic adhesion
Summary
Knee extension apparatus induced traumatic adhesion refers to fiber stiffness induced by trauma, manifested with varying degrees of genuflex functional limitation. After several years of experience learned in clinical practice, we have explored a set of techniques of four-finger acupressure and extension genuflex for the treatment of knee extension apparatus induced traumatic adhesion. As this method is concluded on the basis of the inheritance of “slotted manuduction for the treatment of injury of knee seam tendon” of the renowned TCM doctor in China, Mr Liu Shoushan, it is called "slotted manuduction"
