지연유발근육통에 대한 치료적 스포츠마사지와 초음파치료의 효과 비교 = The Effects of Therapeutic Sports Massage and Ultrasound Therapy on Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Delayed onset muscle soreness(DOMS), the sensation of pain and stiffness in the muscles that occurs from 1 to 5 days following unaccustomed exercise, can adversely affect muscular performance, both from voluntary reduction of effort and from inherent loss of capacity of the muscles to produce force. This reduction in performance is temporary; permanent impairment does not occur. The etiology and cellular mechanisms of DOMS are not known, but a number of hypotheses exist to explain the phenomenon. DOMS is a commom problem that can interfere with rehabilitation as well as activities of daily living.
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of both Therapeutic Sports Massage(TSM) and Ultra Sound Therapy(UST) on DOMS. Twenty-one untrained and male volunteer subjects were randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups: 1) a group that received TSM, 2) UST or 3) a control group that received no treatment. Subjects performed repeated eccentric exercise of the non-dominant forearm flexor muscle with submaximal intensity by the simply designed eccentric exercise devices. Treatments were applied after 24 hours and 48 hours. Subjects attended two consecutive days of treatment and measurement of elbow flexion, extension, resting angle (universal goniometer), and pain(visual analogue scale: VAS) on a daily basis. Measurements were taken after treatment. Results of analysis were as follows;
1) There were no significant differences between TSM and UST by one-way repeated ANOVA, 2) The t-test for pain, flexion, extension and resting angle revealed significant differences within TSM group, 3) The t-test for pain, flexion, extension and resting angle revealed significant differences within UST group. Summed up, it can be generally concluded that TSM and UST are an effective treatments to rid the patients with DOMS of pains safely and promptly. Suggestions for further research and implications for the clinical of TSM and UST for DOMS-Treatment are discussed.
