探討電刺激與傳統肌力訓練在下肢受傷後股四頭肌肌力的比較

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the treatment effect of Russian's electrical stimulative training program versus conventional exercise in muscle strengthening of quadriceps. Seventeen patients who had undergone surgery for fracture of lower leg or ACL, PCL reconstruction or repairment, were randomly divided into two groups; 7 patients served as a control group underwent isometric contraction of quadriceps, another 10 patients served as a study group underwent with maximal tolerable isometric contraction induced by Russian's E.S.. The parameter of Russian's E.S.consisted of 2500 Hz median frequency modulated at 50 bursts per second (50 pps) 10 times Russian's E.S. was accepted at each session, each time consisted of 10 second induced contraction with 50 second rest interval. The total training program was 20 sessions. The muscle strength of quadriceps and hamstrings was assessed with Cybex II 6000 isokinetic dynamometer at the speed of 60,180 degrees/second. Tape measure was used to assess bilateral thigh circumference, Bandi test was used to assess the degree of functional mobility. The results revealed that the muscle strength and Bandi test of the study group is better than that of the control group, but the circumference of thigh between two groups showed no significant difference. The results of this study showed that soon after major reconstructive knee surgery or lower leg fracture, RES can provide greater isometric strength gains than that of conventional exercise.
