Summary

The purpose of this graduate research study is to explore the therapeutic benefits of Myofascial Release massage on lower limb amputees with pain levels, range of motion, and muscle strength.

Conditions

  • Amputation

Interventions

OTHER

massage

The techniques include myofascial release and manual active and passive stretching with the intention to lengthen overly contracted or shortened tissue, increase range of motion, and restore any malpositioning of structural landmarks as defined by its contralateral counterpart. By addressing the symptoms of the somatic dysfunction, you will in turn reduce the overall perceived pain in the body caused in these related tissues. The duration of each massage treatment session will be 45 minutes long and therapists will use a timer to ensure all subjects receive the same length of treatment. Patients will continue to receive treatment from the same therapist to maintain consistency of results.
