The short-term effect of Graston instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (GISTM) on supraspinatus tendinosis and it's [sic] concomitant findingsHarper, Grant Michael January 2006 (has links)

xviii, 134, 7 leaves. / Shoulder injuries, which account for 8% to 20% of volleyball injuries, are usually rotator cuff and / or biceps tendinosis caused by overuse (Briner et al.1999); in addition 38-75% of competitive swimmers have had a history of shoulder pain, while 9 - 35% of these swimmers were currently experiencing pain (McMaster and Troup, 1993). Rotator cuff tendinosis is also found in laborers involved in repeated overhead activities (i.e. among shipyard welders and steel plate workers), with a prevalence of 18, 3% and 16, 2% respectively (Herberts et al. 1984).
Fricker and Hoy (1995), suggest that the principal cause of tendinosis of the rotator cuff muscles is repetitive microtrauma, due to overfatigued muscles and / or weakening of the rotator cuff and scapulothoracic muscles.
The etiology of impingement syndrome is therefore multifactorial and is commonly associated with other clinical entities such as weak or dysfunctional scapular musculature, posterior glenohumeral capsule tightness, inflammation of tendons (viz. supraspinatus and long head of biceps), bursal inflammation and glenohumeral instability (Michener et al., 2003). Shoulder syndromes are often related to the development and perpetuation of myofascial trigger points (TrPs) as found by Hains (2002), who suggested that these TrPs become activated during mechanical stress and overload of the involved shoulder musculature.
Hammer (1991), suggests that the most valuable modality to treat chronic overuse soft tissue syndromes (irrespective of muscular or tendinous in origin) is friction massage to both regions. Cyriax (1984) and Prentice (1994) state the effect of frictions to include the breakdown of adhesions (scar tissue), as well as preventing the formation of further adhesions.

The relative effectiveness of spray and stretch compared to ice and stretch in the treatment of myofascial trigger pointsBacklund, Gary January 1999 (has links)
Dissertation submitted in partial compliance with the requirements for the Master's Degree in Technology: Chiropractic,Technikon Natal, 1999. / Pain arising from myofascial trigger points is common and is often so disabling that the need for fast effective treatment is urgent. Of the many documented treatments for trigger points, there is little evidence to support one treatment over another. It is thus the purpose of this study to determine the relative effectiveness of stretch and ice to stretch and spray in the treatment of myofascial trigger points found in the upper trapezius muscle. This comparative clinical study involved the participation of thirty patients presenting with myofascial trigger points of the upper trapezius muscle. By means of consecutive sampling, patients complaining of neck pain, and/or headaches, and/or shoulder pain or a combination thereof, and who were between the ages of sixteen and sixty-five, underwent a screening processes to determine if they had active myofascial trigger points in the upper trapezius. Those that were eligible for the study were randomly assigned to either the stretch and ice group or the stretch and spray group. The subjective primary data consisted of three pain questionnaires, namely the Short Form McGill Pain Questionnaire, CMCC Neck Disability Index, and Numerical Rating Scale-101. The objective data was supplied by readings taken from an algometer. The patients underwent three consultations in the first week, two consultations in the second week and a final consultation one-month after the fifth treatment. All the primary data was collected at four occasions. These were at the first, third, fifth and one month follow-up consultations. Intra-group analysis using the Wilcoxon Sign-Rank Test determined if each group improved significantly with respect to the data collected. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to determine which group was statistically better than the other. The results, including the standard deviation, standard error, mean and power / M

The influence of component materials on Graston technique effectiveness during the treatment of myofascial pain syndromeGeorgiou, Marcus January 2006 (has links)
Dissertation submitted in partial compliance with the requirements for the Master's Degree in Technology: Chiropractic, Durban Institute of Technology, 2006. / Graston Technique Instrument-assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (GTISTM), is a relatively new form of myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) treatment, that is thought to be an advanced form of soft tissue mobilization. The stainless steel instruments that are used are specifically designed for various parts of the body and are used to detect and release scar tissue, adhesions and fascial restrictions (Carey-Loghmani, 2003:7). It is speculated that the Graston Technique instruments may be superior to other instruments due to the uniqueness of the instrument design, instrument material (stainless steel), delivery method and technique process. The instruments have been designed to adapt to the various curves of the body allowing the clinician to detect and treat soft tissue dysfunctions in an accurate and specific manner (Carey-Loghmani, 2003;2). Other soft tissue therapeutic techniques make use of specifically designed aluminium instruments have shown to be successful in the treatment of tendonitis (Davidson et aI., 1997).Thus it was the aim of this study to determine if there was a significant clinical difference between the Graston Technique instruments and instruments of the exact design but of a constitutionally different material (i.e. aluminium). This was achieved by varying the instrument material, while maintaining all the other features of the instrument, as well as the treatment protocol in the management of myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) of the trapezius and the levator scapula muscles. III This pilot study was a comparative clinical trial conducted on a quasiexperimental basis, aimed at establishing the influence of component materials of the Graston Technique instruments in the treatment of MPS in terms of clinical outcomes. The sample size consisted of sixty patients selected from the Durban Metropolitan Area. Patients between the ages of 18 and 55 and diagnosed / M

The relative effectiveness of the four-electrode as opposed to the pen-electrode interferential current method in the treatment of myofascial pain syndromesCorin, Alan Clifford January 1998 (has links)
A dissertation submitted in partial compliance with the requirements for a Masters Degree in Technology: Chiropractic, Technikon Natal, 1998. / The purpose of this investigation was to determine the relative effect of the four-electrode as opposed to the pen-electrode interferential current method in the treatment of myofascial pain syndromes. This was a randomised clinical trial consisting of two groups. Group A received four-electrode interferential current therapy, while Group B received pen-electrode interferential current therapy. Each group consisted of 15 subjects, between the ages of 18 and 55 years, selected from the general population. Subjects diagnosed with active myofascial trigger points in any of the following muscles: trapezius, levator scapulae, supraspinatus, infraspinatus and rhomboid major and minor, were admitted into the study. Each subject received five treatments over a period of three weeks followed by a one-month follow-up consultation. Each subject was assessed by means of the CMCC Neck Disability Index, short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire and the Numerical Pain Questionnaire; as well as pain threshold readings by means of an algometer and cervical spine ranges of motion measurements by means of a cervical goniometer. Readings were taken at the first, fifth and follow-up consultations for all subjective and objective measurements. / M
