简要总结
Comparative effect of Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization and Cross Fiber Massage in patients with Total Knee Replacement
详细描述
Total knee replacement (TKR) is an elective procedure in which the knee joint is resurfaced with a metal or plastic implant intended to restore function, provide pain relief, and improve quality of life.IASTM helps to remove the scarring and decrease the pain caused by muscular tightness. The therapeutic benefits of the application of IASTM occur in a short period, including improvement in range of motion, reduction of pain, decreasing hypertonia.Cross fiber massage, is a form of massage technique that focuses on the body's deep tissues. The massage is deep and should be delivered in transverse direction to the particular tissue affected, as opposed to superficial massage applied longitudinally parallel to the vessels, which promotes circulation and fluid return.

研究组 & 干预措施
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization
The Graston Technique of Soft-Tissue Therapy (GT), also known as instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM), is used by chiropractors, physicians, and therapists to manage pain and range-of-motion limitations caused by scar tissue and musculoskeletal injuries. The GT treats tissue injuries and pain by separating scar tissue and producing heat, which increases blood flow to the areas affected by pain or trauma.
干预措施: Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (Other)
Cross Fibre Massage
Deep tissue massage is a type of massage that focuses on the muscular tissue's most profound levels. In tight regions, therapists utilize a combination of gentle strokes and deep pressure with their fingers, palms, and forearms. Either following or by going over the muscle fibers. It is used for back pain Reduce high blood pressure, Relieve pain and stiffness Speed up the healing of muscle strains and sprains Chronic constipation.

结局指标
主要结局
Pain Intensity
时间窗: Baseline and 4th week
Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) is a widely used tool to measure pain intensity. The visual analog scale (VAS) for pain is a straight line with one end meaning no pain and the other end meaning the worst pain imaginable. It was used to assess pain.
