Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

It is possible that pain, ROM, lower extremity flexibility and knee functions will be negatively affected after arthroscopic meniscus repair. This study searches and compares the effectiveness of fascial distortion model (FDM) and IASTM methods for these parameters that can be affected.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Control Group

A progressive home exercise program consisting of 3 phases was applied.

Exercise

Intervention Type OTHER

Home exercises were applied in 3 progressive phases.

1st phase: postoperative 0-4. week, 2nd phase: 5-12. week, 3rd phase 12-15. week.

In the 1st phase, ice application, strengthening for the hip, knee and ankle, and walking exercises were applied. 90 degrees knee flexion range of movement (ROM) was targeted.

In the 2nd phase, the resistance of the strengthening exercises was increased and closed kinetic chain exercises were added. Weight bearing, step climbing and balance exercises were performed. Full ROM targeted in the knee.

In the 3rd phase, pain-free full ROM was targeted, and progressive strengthening, balance and agility exercises for sports and recreational activities were applied.

FDM Group

In addition to the progressive home exercise program consisting of 3 phases, the trigger band technique of the fascial distortion model was applied around the knee.

Exercise

Intervention Type OTHER

Home exercises were applied in 3 progressive phases.

1st phase: postoperative 0-4. week, 2nd phase: 5-12. week, 3rd phase 12-15. week.

In the 1st phase, ice application, strengthening for the hip, knee and ankle, and walking exercises were applied. 90 degrees knee flexion range of movement (ROM) was targeted.

In the 2nd phase, the resistance of the strengthening exercises was increased and closed kinetic chain exercises were added. Weight bearing, step climbing and balance exercises were performed. Full ROM targeted in the knee.

In the 3rd phase, pain-free full ROM was targeted, and progressive strengthening, balance and agility exercises for sports and recreational activities were applied.

Fascial Distortion Model

Intervention Type OTHER

At the beginning of the 2nd phase of the treatment, starting from the 5th week, twice a week for 4 weeks, a total of 8 sessions of FDM technique were applied.

In this study, trigger band technique was chosen to apply around the knee. Interventions were made directly to the skin in the form of medial, lateral, anterior, posterior techniques of the knee and posterior and lateral techniques of the thigh. The techniques was made after the exercises.

IASTM Group

In addition to the progressive home exercise program consisting of 3 phases, the IASTM was applied with Graston technique around the knee.

Exercise

Intervention Type OTHER

Home exercises were applied in 3 progressive phases.

1st phase: postoperative 0-4. week, 2nd phase: 5-12. week, 3rd phase 12-15. week.

In the 1st phase, ice application, strengthening for the hip, knee and ankle, and walking exercises were applied. 90 degrees knee flexion range of movement (ROM) was targeted.

In the 2nd phase, the resistance of the strengthening exercises was increased and closed kinetic chain exercises were added. Weight bearing, step climbing and balance exercises were performed. Full ROM targeted in the knee.

In the 3rd phase, pain-free full ROM was targeted, and progressive strengthening, balance and agility exercises for sports and recreational activities were applied.

Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation

Intervention Type OTHER

At the beginning of the 2nd phase of the treatment, starting from the 5th week, twice a week for 4 weeks, a total of 8 sessions of IASTM technique were applied.

In this study, the Graston technique was chosen to apply IASTM around the knee. Technique was applied with using stainless steel and ultrasound gel to around the knee, m. quadriceps, m. hamstring, iliotibial band and medial thigh. The technique was performed for at least 2 minutes in each region.
