简要总结
The project aims to assess the effectiveness of neuromuscular training according to the concept of Kinetic Control (KC) in prevention and treatment of lumbar spine and knee pain and in reduction of risk of injury in female football players.
The study was designed as single-blind Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) and conducted on a group of 18 female football players from University Club of the Academic Sports Association of Pope John Paul II State School of Higher Education in Biała Podlaska. Participants were randomly divided into two 9-person groups: A - used standard training and neuromuscular training (Kinetic Control) and B - used only standard training.
Main hypothesis:
The application of neuromuscular therapy (KC) reduces the risk of injuries and pain of the lumbar spine and the knee and improves the static and dynamic balance.
Research questions:
- Will the application of the KC training reduce the risk and frequency of spine and knee injuries in females football players?
- Will the KC training lead to reduction of the intensity of lumbar spine and knee pain?
- Will the application of the KC training lead to increase in the torque strength of knee flexors and extensors and improved stability of the knee?
- Will the application of the neuromuscular training (KC) lead to reduction of the disability level and improved functional level?
详细描述
The research was conducted upon acquiring an approval of the Bioethical Commission of Pope John Paul II State School of Higher Education in Biała Podlaska, no. 3/2018.
The study was designed as single-blind Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) and conducted on a group of 18 female football players from University Club of the Academic Sports Association of Pope John Paul II State School of Higher Education in Biała Podlaska. Participants were randomly divided into two 9-person groups: A - used standard training and neuromuscular training (Kinetic Control) and B - used only standard training.
None of the physiotherapists were personally involved in the preparation and the manner of performing the test. Before commencing the tests, each participant was familiarised with their course, expressed their informed written consent for the participation and random assignment to the specified tested group.
The random placement was performed with the use of computer software.
The players participate in two training cycles over a year: from July to December and from January to June. Therefore, the above mentioned training regime will be performed twice.

研究组 & 干预措施
Traditional Training Group
Players participated in the classic training.
Kinetic Control Group
The players participated in the classic training and for 4 weeks (3 times a week) underwent the Kinetic Control neuromuscular training with assistance of a physical therapist.
The duration of one training was 20-30 minutes.
干预措施: Kinetic Control (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
Modified Laitinen's pain questionnaire
时间窗: Modified Laitinen's pain questionnaire was carried out at the beginning of each season and after 6 months
Laitinen's pain questionnaire took into account four indicators evaluated in the scale from 0 to 4: the intensity of pain, the frequency of its occurrence, the use of analgesic medications and limitation of the participant's motor activity. A research participant could have been granted from 0 to 16 points, the maximum score means the highest level of pain.
Visual analogue scale of pain (VAS)
时间窗: Visual analogue scale of pain (VAS) was carried out at the beginning of each season and after 6 months
Visual analogue scale of pain (VAS) evaluates intensity of pain in the scale from 0 to 10. Maximum score means the highest level of pain.
Stratford's back pain functional scale (BPFS)
时间窗: Stratford's back pain functional scale (BPFS) was carried out at the beginning of each season and after 6 months
In Stratford's scale (BFPS), the research participants assessed twelve actions related to everyday life activity in the scale from 0 to 5. The result fell within a range from 0 to 60 points, where the higher final result, the lower level of pain.
次要结局
- Measurement of muscle force torque on a UPR-02A chair(Measurement of muscle force torque on a UPR-02A chair were carried out at the beginning of each season and after 6 months)
- Single leg small knee bend test(Single leg small knee bend test was carried out at the beginning of each season and after 6 months)
- Tests on the GAMMA dynamometric platform(Tests on the GAMMA dynamometric platform were carried out at the beginning of each season and after 6 months)
