Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) on muscular strength, pain, range of motion and fear-avoidance in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) patients. The subjects of this study who received ACLR after arthroscopic injury were divided into two groups: NMES (n=14) and TENS (n=14). Each group received intervention after routine physical therapy. Each electrotherapy intervention was applied regularly for a total of 12 times, 3 times a day (30 minutes) for 4 weeks. The evaluation by intervention method included isokinetic muscle strength in flexion and extension of the knee joint, pain, range of motion of the knee joint, and fear-avoidance beliefs. The results showed significant improvement in pain, range of motion, and fear-avoidance beliefs in both groups (p<0.05). However, there was a significant improvement in isokinetic knee flexion and extension strength only in the NMES group (p<0.05). There was no significant difference between the two electrotherapy methods in muscle strength, pain, range of motion, and fear-avoidance beliefs. These study results suggest that NMES and TENS can be effective intervention methods for pain, range of motion, and fear-avoidance response in patients with ACLR, but to improve muscle strength NMES may be more effective.

본 연구는 앞십자인대 재건술 환자에게 신경근전기자극 및 경피신경전기자극을 적용하여 근력과 통증, 관절가동범위 및 공포-회피반응에 미치는 효과를 알아보고자 한 연구이다. 앞십자인대 완전파열로 인해 관절경재건술을 받은자를 대상으로 신경근전기자극군(n=14), 경피신경전기자극군(n=14)으로 나누었고 각 군은 일반적인 물리치료를 받은 후 각 중재를 적용받았다. 각 전기치료 중재는 1일 1회 30분, 주 3회씩 4주간, 총 12회 규칙적으로 적용하였다. 중재방법에 따른 평가에는 무릎관절의 굽힘과 폄시 등속성 근력, 통증, 무릎관절 가동범위, 공포-회피반응이 포함되었다. 연구결과 신경근전기자극군과 경피신경전기자극군 모두에서 통증, 관절가동범위, 공포-회피반응에서 유의한 개선이 있었다. 하지만 등속성 무릎 굽힘 및 폄근력의 경우 신경근전기자극군에서만 유의한 개선이 있었다. 또한, 신경근전기자극과 경피신경전기자극 두 전기치료 방법간, 근력, 통증, 관절가동범위, 공포-회피반응에선 유의한 차이가 없었다. 본 연구를 통해 신경근전기자극과 경피신경전기자극은 앞십자인대 재건술 환자의 통증, 관절가동범위, 공포-회피반응에 효과적인 중재방법이 될 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있었지만 넙다리네갈래근 근력을 개선시키기 위해서는 신경근전기자극이 더욱 효과적일 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다.
