Comparing Functional Motor Control Exercises With Therapeutic Exercise in Wrestlers With Iliotibial Band Syndrome.
Comparing Functional Motor Control Exercises With Therapeutic Exercise in Wrestlers With Iliotibial Band Syndrome. Journal of sport rehabilitation Jahanshahi, M., Nasermelli, M. H., Baker, R. L., Rabiei, P., Moen, M., Fredericson, M. 2022: 1-10Abstract
CONTEXT: Iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS) is a common overuse injury in runners with parallels to our findings of overuse in Greco Roman wrestlers. Despite research indicating coordination and movement-based factors about the hip, no studies were found using functional motor control (FMC) in runners or wrestlers with ITBS. Thus, we compared FMC exercises and therapeutic exercises (TEs) on pain, function, muscle strength, and range of motion (ROM) in national-level Greco Roman wrestlers with ITBS.DESIGN: Controlled laboratory study.METHODS: Sixty national-level Greco Roman wrestlers diagnosed with ITBS were randomly assigned to 8weeks of FMC exercises, TE, and a control group (20 individuals for each group). Pain (visual analog scale), function (triple hop test for distance, single-leg vertical jump test, and agility T test), muscle strength (handheld dynamometer), and ROM (goniometer) were measured at baseline and 8weeks after intervention as posttest.RESULTS: Although both interventions significantly reduced pain (P < .001, eta2 = .87), improved function (triple hop test P = .004, eta2 = .94; single-leg vertical jump P = .002, eta2 = .93; and T test P < .001, eta2 = .93) and strength (hip abduction (P < .001, eta2 = .52), hip external rotation (P = .02, eta2 = .95), knee flexion (P = .001, eta2 = .94), and knee extension (P < .001, eta2 = .91) compared with the control group, FMC showed more significant improvements in comparison with TE. Significant differences (P = .001) were observed between FMC and TE compared with the control group in ROM outcome. However, TE was more effective than FMC in improving ROM hip abduction (P < .001, eta2 = .93), hip adduction (P = .000, eta2 = .92), hip internal rotation (P < .001, eta2 = .92), and hip external rotation (P < .001, eta2 = .93).CONCLUSION: FMC exercises were superior to TE in terms of pain, function, and muscle strength, whereas TE was more effective for improving ROM. FMC exercise is suggested as an effective intervention for improvement of the outcomes related to ITBS in national-level Greco Roman wrestlers.
