Résumé : |
Objective To determine whether the combination of stochastic resonance (SR) electrical stimulation and a neoprene knee sleeve could improve center of pressure (COP) measures of postural sway during single-leg stance in those with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Design Counterbalanced, repeated-measures intervention study of osteoarthritic adults during 6 different testing conditions: a control conditioncontrol 1 (1); a counterbalance sequence of 4 treatment conditionsno stimulation with sleeve (2), 75% stimulation with sleeve (3), 100% stimulation with sleeve (4), and 150% stimulation with sleeve (5); and a second control conditioncontrol 2 (6). Setting University sports medicine research laboratory. Participants Subjects (N=52) with radiographically determined, minimal-to-moderate medial knee OA. Interventions Neoprene knee sleeve and SR electrical stimulation. Main Outcome Measures COP displacement in the medial-lateral and anterior-posterior directions was collected to resolve the mean velocity, SD, range, and total path length. Results No significant differences were found in the study measures between the testing conditions. Additionally, no significant differences were found between the 3 stimulation conditions or between the sleeve-alone and stimulation conditions for any of the study measures. Conclusions There were no significant improvements in balance with the use of a neoprene knee sleeve. Additionally, there was no added benefit of the SR stimulation as applied in the current configuration in this population. |
