Treatment preferences of physiotherapists' for acute pain in anterior cruciate ligament injury

Background and aims: Anterior Cruciate Ligament injury is a common orthopedic problem in young people who participated sport activities. In Anterior Cruciate Ligament injury, the first six weeks are accepted as an acute period. The primary goal in this period is to control acute pain and inflammation in the knee. The aim of this study was to determine of treatment preferences of physiotherapists’ for acute pain in Anterior Cruciate Ligament injury. Methods: In this study, total of ninety-three physiotherapists were participated who worked for one year or more and agreed to participate in the study were included in the study.The mean age was 28.52 ± 6.53 and mean working time 5.5±6.13 year. The scenario (21 years old male had a partial Anterior Cruciate Ligament rupture during play football) was given to physical therapist. Considering this scenario; they were asked which methods they preferred to treatment to acute pain more frequently. Results: The distribution treatment method preferences by physical therapists were electro physical agents 97.8%, cryotherapy 89.2%, manual therapy 78.5%, methods for pain and swelling stabilization and protection of knee 53.8%, exercise for keeping muscle performance and range of motion 49.5% and 12,9% alternative methods. Conclusion: The study results suggested that most chosen methods by physical therapists for treatment of acute pain in partial Anterior Cruciate Ligament injury was electro physical agents, cryotherapy, manual therapy and joint stabilization and protection

Fizyoterapistlerin ön çapraz bağ yaralanmasında akut ağrıya yönelik tedavi tercihleri

Amaç: Ön çapraz bağ yaralanması, sportif aktivitelere katılan genç kişilerde sıklıkla görülen ortopedik bir problemdir. Ön çapraz bağ yırtıklarında ilk altı hafta akut dönem olarak kabul edilir. Bu dönemdeki temel amaç; öncelikle dizdeki akut ağrı ve inflamasyonun kontrol altına alınmasıdır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, ön çapraz bağ yaralanmasında fizyoterapistlerin akut ağrıya yönelik tercih ettikleri tedavi yöntemlerini belirlemektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmada 1 yıl ve daha uzun süredir çalışan ve araştırmaya katılmayı kabul eden toplam doksan üç fizyoterapist çalışma kapsamına alındı. Çalışmaya katılan fizyoterapistlerin yaş ortalamaları 28,52±6,53 yıl ve çalışma yıl ortalamaları 8,03±6,33 yıl idi. Fizyoterapistlere, ön çapraz bağ yaralanmasına ilişkin hayali bir senaryo (futbol oynarken parsiyel ön çapraz bağ rüptürü oluşan 21 yaşındaki erkek) verildi. Bu senaryo göz önüne alınarak; ağrıyı tedavi etmede hangi yöntemleri tercih ettiklerine dair açık uçlu sorular soruldu. Bulgular: Senaryoya göre fizyoterapistler tarafından tercih edilen tedavi yöntemlerinin dağılımı; ağrı ve şişlik için elektro-fiziksel ajanlar %97,8; soğuk uygulama %89,2; manuel tedavi teknikleri %78,5; dizin korunması ve stabilizasyon %53,8; kas performansı ve eklem hareket açıklığının korunması için egzersiz %49,5 ve alternatif metotlar %12,9 şeklinde idi. Sonuç: Parsiyel ön çapraz bağ yaralanmasında akut ağrının tedavisinde fizyoterapistler tarafından en çok tercih edilen yöntemler sırasıyla elektrofiziksel ajanlar, soğuk uygulama, manuel tedavi teknikleri, eklem koruma ve eklem stabilizasyon yöntemleridir

Investigation of motor skill in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis: A cross sectional study

Introduction: The inflammatory process of Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is associated comorbidities. The JIA patients can fall behind their healthy peers, and motor and functional skills can reduce. Objectives: The primary aim is to compare the motor skills of JIA patients with healthy controls. The secondary aim is to determine whether disease activity affects patients with JIA. Materials and methods: Fifteen patients with JIA and 15 healthy controls were included in the study. Motor skills were evaluated with Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency Second Edition Short Form (BOT-2 SF) in patients with JIA and healthy controls. BOT-2 SF measures four motor area composites with eight subtests. Disease activity was evaluated with Juvenile Arthritis Disease Activity Score-27 (JADAS-27), disability level with Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (CHAQ-DI), and disease-related quality of life with Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) 3.0 Arthritis Module for JIA. According to disease activity, patients with JIA were divided into two groups as remission and active. Results: The patients with JIA had significantly lower scores in the total and four motor area of BOT-2 SF compared to healthy controls (p .05). When the remission and active groups were compared, there was no difference in the total and four motor area of BOT-2 SF, CHAQ-DI, or PedsQL (p > .05). Conclusion: The motor skills of patients with JIA are lower than their healthy peers, and their motor skills, quality of life, and disability did not make a difference between the remission and active period. © 2023 Asociación Colombiana de Reumatologí
