Abstract
STATEMENT OF THE STUDY: A study on the effectiveness of instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) for patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). OBJECTIVES: 1. To find out the effectiveness of IASTM in reducing pain for patellofemoral pain syndrome. 2. To find out the effectiveness of IASTM in improving knee flexion range of motion for patellofemoral pain syndrome. HYPOTHESIS: 1. It may be hypothesized that there may be a significant difference in pain and knee flexion range of motion following instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization. 2. It may be hypothesized that there may not be a significant difference in pain and knee flexion range of motion following instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization. METHODOLOGY: Study setting: The study was conducted in outpatient department RVS College of Physiotherapy, Sulur, Coimbatore. Selection of subjects: 20 patients who fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria were randomly selected. Experimental Group: Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM). selection of Variable: Dependent variables: Pain, Restricted ROM. Independent variables:Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM). Study design: Pre and post-test experimental design. Duration of study: Duration of the study was 3session for 3weeks. Inclusion criteria: Both males and females were included, Symptoms for atleast 3months, The subjects were between 25 to 50 years of age, Patellofemoral pain syndrome patients were only included. Exclusion criteria: Trauma, Sports injury, Infection, Reduced muscular endurance, Any neurological disease. RESULTS: Twenty PFPS patients were selected for this study. patients were received instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization for a period of 3 sessions for 3 weeks before and after intervention pain and knee flexion range of motion were assessed by VAS and Goniometric tool. Analysis of Dependent Variable pain in the Experiment: The calculated paired ‘t’ value for pain is 16.5 and the table ‘t’ value is 3.250 at 0.005 level of significance. Hence, the calculated ‘t’ value is greater than the table ‘t’ value there is significant difference in pain following instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization among patellofemoral pain syndrome patients. Analysis of Dependent Variable knee flexion range of motion in the Experiment: The calculated paired ‘t’ value for knee flexion range of motion is 5.1 and the table ‘t’ value is 3.250 at 0.005 level of significance. Hence, the calculated ‘t’ value is greater than the table ‘t’ value there is significant difference in knee flexion range of motion following instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization among patellofemoral pain syndrome patients. CONCLUSION: This study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of instrumented assisted soft tissue mobilization in reducing pain and improve knee flexion range of motion among PFPS patients. Subjects were selected for the study and were given IASTM for a period of 3 sessions for 3 weeks. Pain and knee flexion range of motion were assessed before and after the study using Visual analogue scale and Goniometer respectively. From the statistical results it can be concluded that instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization is effective in reducing pain and improve knee flexion range of motion among patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome.
