Summary

Comparative effect of Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization and Cross Fiber Massage in patients with Total Knee Replacement

Conditions

  • Total Knee Replacement

Interventions

OTHER

Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization

Each treatment session was of 15-20 minutes for all muscles, with the help of IASTM device assisted by friction-free oil or gel. The general principle is a six-step technique comprising examination, warm-up, IASTM, stretching, strengthening and icing. Data was collected by an independent assessor at baseline and after 4 weeks

OTHER

Cross Fibre Massage

The massage is deep and must be applied transversely to the specific tissue involved unlike the superficial massage given in the longitudinal direction parallel to the vessels which enhances circulation and return of fluid. The therapist's fingers and patient's skin must move as one, otherwise moving subcutaneous fascia against muscle or ligament could lead to blister formation or subcutaneous bruising. Data was collected by an independent assessor at baseline and after 4 weeks.
