Effects of a comprehensive physical therapy program on functional performance profile in young men with a
history of Osgood-Schlatter disease
Ibrahim Ragab
Beni Suef University, Egypt
There is little prospective studies assessing the treatment of Osgood-Schlatter disease (OSD) hence, this study was conducted to
investigate the functional performance profile of young men. 50 young men having a history of OSD were randomly assigned
into 2 groups-their ages ranged between 17-21years old. Group A had a conventional physical therapy program in addition to
extracorporeal shock wave therapy sessions while group B had the same conventional treatment program. Sessions were executed
3 times a week for 2 months. Assessment was done using a modified 100 points rating scale. This scale is based upon 5 variables
(symptoms, functional tests, clinical examination, performance tests and manual muscle testing). The basic grading scale breaks
down into 4 categories: Excellent=90-100; Good=80-89; Fair=70-79 and Poor=69 or below. Measurements were taken before as
well as after the end of treatment program. Before treatment (group A); excellent 2 patients, good 13 patients, fair 8 patients, poor 2
patients, for (group B); excellent 1 patient, good 17 patients and fair 7 patients. While after treatment; (group A); excellent 17 patients,
good 8 patients; for (group B); excellent 11 patients, good 13 patients, revealed statistically significant improvement in the measuring
variables of both groups when comparing their pre and post treatment mean values. Significant differences in the measured variables
were also obtained in favor of the group (A) when compared with that of group (B). The obtained results strongly supported the
application of shock wave therapy to improve functional performance profile in young men having a history of Osgood-Schlatter
disease.
