Abstract
BACKGROUND:
This subject is one item of Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinical and Finishing Technology of State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which will be promoted and used in community and rural when it is finished.
OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the multi-center clinical evaluation of the treatment slotted manuduction to treat extension knee apparatus induced traumatic adhesions.
DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING:
The multi-center and randomized concurrent control study was performed at the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Zhengzhou Orthopaedics Hospital and Traditional Chinese Medical Hospital of Henan Province from January 2003 to October 2006.
PARTICIPANTS:
A total of 240 patients with knee extension apparatus who admitted in the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Zhengzhou Orthopaedics Hospital and Traditional Chinese Medical Hospital of Henan Province were selected, and randomized divided into the experimental group: 120 cases, including 78 male and 42 female, with mean aged (42.50±13.93) years; and the control group: 120 cases, containing 71 male and 49 female, with mean aged (44.19±12.92) years.
METHODS:
Knee slotted manipulation, i.e. the method of four-finger hole sowing and extension genuflex was adopted in experimental group. In the control group, methods from the Traditional Chinese Injury Science of Tendon were used. The treatment was once per day for 30 days, with 20 minutes once a time. Informed consent was obtained from each patient.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:
The degree of knee joint activities, score of knee joint actively flexural behavior function, and the grading of joint function prior to and after treatment, as well as therapeutic effects were compared in two groups.
RESULTS:
The qualification rate of experimental group was 84.17% and control group was 85.83%, respectively. The significant efficiency rate was 87.13% in the experimental group and 68.93% in the control group (P < 0.05). Compared the degree of knee joint activities, score of knee joint function, score of knee joint actively flexural behavior function, and the grading score of joint function, the experimental group was better than the control group (P < 0.01).
CONCLUSION:
Slotted manuduction has an exact effect on treating knee extension apparatus induced traumatic adhesion, which has higher validity and maneuverability.
