Facial Distortion Model and Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization Techniques

Ankara Yildirim Beyazıt University33 enrolled

Overview

To compare the effects of facial distortion model and equipment assisted soft tissue mobilization techniques on the treatment process, which are among the applications in the rehabilitation process after meniscus repair.

It is possible that pain, ROM, lower extremity flexibility and knee functions will be negatively affected after arthroscopic meniscus repair. This study searches and compares the effectiveness of fascial distortion model (FDM) and IASTM methods for these parameters that can be affected.

Interventions

ExerciseOTHER

Home exercises were applied in 3 progressive phases. 1st phase: postoperative 0-4. week, 2nd phase: 5-12. week, 3rd phase 12-15. week. In the 1st phase, ice application, strengthening for the hip, knee and ankle, and walking exercises were applied. 90 degrees knee flexion range of movement (ROM) was targeted. In the 2nd phase, the resistance of the strengthening exercises was increased and closed kinetic chain exercises were added. Weight bearing, step climbing and balance exercises were performed. Full ROM targeted in the knee. In the 3rd phase, pain-free full ROM was targeted, and progressive strengthening, balance and agility exercises for sports and recreational activities were applied.

Fascial Distortion ModelOTHER

At the beginning of the 2nd phase of the treatment, starting from the 5th week, twice a week for 4 weeks, a total of 8 sessions of FDM technique were applied. In this study, trigger band technique was chosen to apply around the knee. Interventions were made directly to the skin in the form of medial, lateral, anterior, posterior techniques of the knee and posterior and lateral techniques of the thigh. The techniques was made after the exercises.

Visual Analog Scale

It is used to convert some values that cannot be measured numerically into numerical values. Two end definitions of the parameter to be evaluated on both ends of a 100 mm line are written and the patient is asked to indicate where his / her condition is appropriate on this line by drawing a line or by marking or pointing.
