Pengaruh Cryotherapy, Ultrasound dan Strengthening Exercise pada Post Rekonstruksi Anterior Cruciate Ligament Fase I: A Case Report

The ACL is a ligament in the knee that has the main function of stabilizing the knee in preventing the movement of the tibia from sliding forward and controlling movement during knee rotation. Rupture is the tearing of tissue caused by trauma. A tear in the Anterior Cruciate Ligament caused by direct or indirect trauma to the knee. Direct trauma occurs due to direct contact with the knee when the knee moves laterally or anteriorly, causing the ligament to tear. This study aims to describe the effect of physiotherapy intervention in the form of modalities given for pain management, joint range of motion and functional ability after ACL reconstruction.
 Description The patient is 31 years old with a history of falls in the past 3 years. The patient feels pain in the area around the incision, has not been able to move the leg normally, the leg cannot be bent maximally, and the leg feels heavy and sluggish. The patient comes to the clinic using an assistive device (elbow crutches) with a non-weight bearing gait pattern. Results and Discussion: The intervention patients were given in the form of cryotherapy, ultrasound, and strengthening exercises in the form of Quadriceps Setting, Hamstring Setting, For Way Hip Exercise, Qalm Shell Exercise, and Ankle Theraband Exercise.
 The results showed a decrease in pain in the incision and movement area, a decrease in edema, an increase in the range of motion of the joint, and an increase in the strength of the muscles that move the knee joint.
 The administration of cryotherapy, ultrasound, and strengthening exercises have been shown to reduce pain, increase joint range of motion, increase muscle strength, and reduce edema in patients after phase 1 Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction.

Feasibility of a Tai Chi with Thera-Band Training Program: A Pilot Study.

Tai Chi, combined with Thera-band (TCTB) exercise may be associated with an improvement in health where it increases physical fitness, improves psychological well-being, and decreases pain. This paper aimed to determine the feasibility of TCTB exercise in older sedentary office workers. Forty office workers aged over 55 years participated in a pilot randomized controlled trial (i.e., 12-week TCTB exercise or Tai Chi exercise only). Feasibility of the TCTB exercise approach was ascertained through the recruitment and enrolment rate, acceptability of the study intervention by participants including retention and adherence rates, participants’ learning process, the appropriateness of data collection as well as the participants’ evaluation of the intervention. Recruitment took longer than planned, with a low recruitment rate of 2.0% (42/2020), but a high enrolment rate of 95.2% (40/42). Thirty-one participants (i.e., 77.5%) completed the intervention. Of those who completed the trial, the overall average attendance was reported as 85.2%; 84.7% in the TCTB group and 85.7% in the Tai Chi only group. A total of 58.3% of participants (n = 21) could independently practice the TCTB or Tai Chi exercise motions at the end of the learning stage. There were no missing data except for the nine participants who withdrew during the intervention. No adverse events or effects were reported, and all participants were satisfied with the 12-week exercise intervention. Results support the feasibility of a large-scale randomized controlled trial to explore the efficacy of a TCTB program for improving health in older sedentary office workers.

The efficacy of Theraband versus general active exercise in improving postural kyphosis

BackgroundThoracic kyphotic posture is accompanying increased biomechanical load of the backbone which is possibly problematic. ObjectiveThe current study aimed to examine the effects of general active exercise versus Theraband exercise on female kyphotic posture. MethodsAn experimental study was conducted at the biomechanical lab. in Physical Therapy College, Cairo University. Fourteen female volunteers with kyphotic posture aged from 18 to 30 years were selected and equally distributed into two groups; 1st group received Theraband exercises (neck retraction exercise, scapular retraction exercise, and resistive shoulder blade squeeze) and 2nd group received general active exercises (Thoracic stretching exercise, thoracic extension exercises, and extension in lying with cervical retraction exercises). Each exercise was conducted properly for 60 min in 3 sessions per week for 4 weeks (total of 12 sessions per week). The Index of kyphosis (IK) was calculated before and after treatment. Moreover, the percentage of back disability index questionnaire (PBDI) and pain score were also detected. ResultsMultivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) was used to compare the post-treatment's means between the first and second groups and control the pre-treatment variables. No significant differences were found post-treatment (P > 0.05). Moreover, IK measures showed a statistically significant difference post-treatment (P < 0.05). The paired sample t-test showed statistically significant differences (P < 0.05) in all variables within the first and second groups. ConclusionThe current study demonstrated the positive effect of both techniques in reducing the IK, percentage of back disability index, and pain score with a more positive effect of Theraband in reducing the IK measures post-treatment.

The Effect of TheraBand Training on the Q Angle and Distance of Ankle Medial Malleolus in Individuals With Genu Valgum Deformity

Purpose: Genu valgum deformity a common lower extremity deformity. The weakness of the lower limb muscles followed by the internal rotation of the femur and external rotation of the tibia, shift the gravitational pull to the outside of the knee. This lower limb alignment deformity could increase the distance of ankle medial malleolus and the Q angle. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the effect of TheraBand training on the Q angle and distance of ankle medial malleolus in individuals with genu valgum deformity. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test and post-test and control group design. The study population consisted of girls in the age range of 9-13 years with genu valgum deformity. The study subjects were randomly divided into the experimental (n=15) and control (n=15) groups. The experimental group participated in TheraBand exercises for 8 weeks and 3 sessions per week. However, the control group received no training during this period. Before and after 8 weeks, the Q angle and distance of ankle medial malleolus were measured by goniometers and coulis, respectively. Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used to analyze the collected data in SPSS. The significance level was considered at 0.05. Results: The obtained statistical results suggested that TheraBand training significantly decreased the Q angle and the distance of ankle medial malleolus in the explored subjects with genu valgum deformity (P=0.001 &amp; P=0.04, respectively). However, no significant difference was observed in the control group. Conclusion: The obtained data revealed that TheraBand training could improve the genu valgum position. Therefore, this training protocol could be implemented to improve the deformity in this population.
