Brief Summary:
The aim of this study was to compare the effects of intermittent pneumatic pressure percussive therapy and graston after a fatigue protocol applied to the leg muscles
Detailed Description:
a- Subject and Objective the importance of the subject why this subject is the problem and the objectives of the study will be written based on the literature with the narration of the researcher
Studies on the intermittent pneumatic compression device graston technique and percussive therapy massage weapons have focused on investigating their use in athlete health During the literature review it was realised that the use of these and other auxiliary therapies and elements that increase the speed of recovery has not been investigated for sedentary individuals The necessity and benefits of regular exercise for sedentary individuals as well as athletes in daily life have been proven by many studies It has become a common belief that exercise should be a part of the life of every adult individual whether athlete or sedentary in order to maintain a healthy life Furthermore enjoyment of exercise and perceived exercise intensity play an important role in the adherence of sedentary individuals moderate intensity exercise is more likely to be enjoyable and adaptive for this population Psychological factors such as mood and self-efficacy also influence exercise behaviours in sedentary individuals with negative exercise-related cognitions potentially moderating the exercise-effect relationship and affecting feelings of pleasure during and after exercise However one of the biggest obstacles for sedentary individuals to form a sports habit is the fatigue and muscle pain they experience after exercise These effects which make it difficult to continue daily life the next day distract the person from the habit of exercising regularly Furthermore the psychosocial benefits of incorporating regular exercise into the daily life flow are well documented and emphasise the wider positive impact of exercise beyond physical health
Intermittent Pneumatic Compression IPC is a mechanical method used to apply compression to limbs and has a number of therapeutic uses The device consists of a pair of inflatable sleeves wrapped around the leg and an electric pneumatic pump that inflates the sleeves with air compressing deep veins and displacing blood proximally The working principle of IPC is based on passively increasing blood flow by applying external pressure to the extremity but the exact physiological mechanisms are only partially understood However despite its widely recognised use and positive effects on circulatory conditions the literature on the use of IPC in musculoskeletal treatment is limited The available evidence has been investigated in several studies including the efficacy of IPC its effect on vasodilatory effects in distal skeletal muscle and its effect on serum indices of muscle function pain and muscle damage Studies have also reported improvements in exercise duration as well as fatigue when using pneumatic compression during rest after warm-up exercises IPC devices are particularly popular among endurance athletes because they have the potential to reduce exercise-induced muscle damage Research on IPC has shown that the devices increase muscle blood flow during exercise and increase blood flow during post-exercise recovery More research is needed on the effects of IPC in musculoskeletal treatment especially on exercise-induced muscle damage and pain In conclusion IPC devices have shown promising results in various therapeutic applications especially in athlete rehabilitation and post-exercise recovery Furthermore all of this information demonstrates the great potential of these devices for health and sports applications
The Graston Technique GT is a form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilisation that uses stainless steel instruments to perform manual therapy on soft tissues It is widely used by clinicians to treat various soft tissue disorders Research has reported that it effectively promotes collagen synthesis and inhibition of adhesion of treated tissues Furthermore the graston technique has been used to manage pain and range of motion limitations caused by scar tissue and musculoskeletal injuries Overall the graston technique has been studied in a variety of contexts and has demonstrated potential effects on range of motion pain relief and musculoskeletal conditions Some studies reported direct effects on specific outcomes while others emphasised its potential when combined with other therapeutic interventions These findings contribute to the understanding of the graston technique as a modality for soft tissue mobilisation and musculoskeletal disorders in the field of physiotherapy and rehabilitation particularly highlighting its potential to manage muscle pain and promote recovery In conclusion the graston technique is a widely used form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilisation with reported efficacy in the management of various musculoskeletal disorders
Percussive therapy has gained popularity in recent years as a potential intervention to alleviate post-exercise muscle pain and fatigue This therapy involves the use of a mechanical system to provide percussive massage and its effectiveness in promoting recovery and reducing muscle soreness has been a topic of interest in the field of sports medicine and rehabilitation Several studies have investigated the acute effects of percussive therapy on muscle recovery and pain aiming to understand its potential benefits for athletes and individuals engaged in physical activities Furthermore the use of percussive therapy with resistance training has been shown to have acute effects on movement velocity suggesting the potential to influence exercise performance and recovery These findings contribute to the understanding of how percussive therapy can influence muscle function and recovery processes In the context of pain management exercise therapy has been advocated as an effective treatment for chronic low back pain suggesting the potential for therapeutic interventions including percussive therapy to address musculoskeletal pain and discomfort Although the acute effects of percussive therapy on muscle recovery have been the focus of research the underlying mechanisms and long-term effects of this therapy need to be further investigated Understanding the impact of percussive therapy on muscle regeneration inflammation and tissue repair processes may provide valuable insights into its potential to enhance recovery and reduce muscle fatigue In conclusion research on massage gun or percussive therapy demonstrates its potential as a valuable intervention to address post-exercise muscle pain and fatigue Further investigation of the underlying mechanisms long-term effects and comparative effectiveness of percussive therapy may provide valuable insights into its role in promoting muscle recovery and enhancing exercise performance
Considering all these it is necessary to compare these modalities among each other and to investigate their contribution to the health of sedentary individuals as well as athletes Although there are studies in the literature on the comparison of these modalities with classical physiotherapy and rehabilitation modalities there is no comparative study on their contribution to the recovery process In addition to its contribution to the literature this study is thought to be useful for physiotherapists who use these and similar modalities in the clinical environment
The main aim of this study was to investigate the effects of these therapeutic treatment modalities on post-exercise muscle pain muscle tone and fatigue Post-exercise recovery is a very popular topic in recent times especially for athletes Many different methods are used for this purpose in the clinical environment In this study the effectiveness of these modalities on recovery and their superiority over each other will be investigated
