Journal Title: Fizjoterapia Polska - Year 2007, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
[b]Background. [/b]The aim of this study was to assess the effect of high-tone power therapy on complaints related to coxarthrosis, i. e. reduced range of motion and pain.[b]Material and methods. [/b]12 subjects 9aged 48-80) suffering from coxarthrosis received a series of 10 high-tone power (HiToP) therapy procedures. Additionally, 20 minutes of exercise was applied after each HiToP session. The subjects were evaluated for hip range of motion and pain level three times: before starting treatment (baseline), after the 5th session and on completion of the treatment (after the 10th session on the last day of the treatment).[b]Results. [/b]Statistically significant changes in the functional parameters and pain level in comparison to baseline values were observed after the 5th visit. After the 10th visit, there was a significant increase in the hip range of motion in all planes assessed and a decrease in pain level.[b]Conclusion. [/b]The treatment of coxarthrosis using high-tone power therapy and postisometric relaxation had a beneficial effect on the range of motion in the hip and coxarthrosis-related pain in the study group.
