Abstract
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.Biography
