Clinical efficacy of a new type of Sports Rehabilitation Therapy Bed

TL;DR

A new sports rehabilitation bed was tested and found to improve stretching precision, reduce injury risk, and offer a more efficient alternative to traditional methods.

Contribution

The study introduces a novel sports rehabilitation bed that enhances stretching therapy precision and safety.

Findings

The experimental group had a significantly lower stretching angle compared to the control group (P=0.05).

Stretching values were significantly lower in the experimental group (P<0.01).

The response rate of stretching therapy was significantly lower in the experimental group (P<0.05).

Abstract

To prove that the “sports rehabilitation bed” is a device aimed at improving the precision of stretching, which can help to reduce the difficulty of rehabilitation therapy, cut down the manpower input of rehabilitation therapy, and shorten the therapy duration as well.

This was a clinical comparative study. Twenty patients who underwent stretching therapy in Sichuan Province Orthopedic Hospital from June 2020 to August 2020 were randomly selected to carry out a control study on both lower extremities. The experimental group was given sports rehabilitation bed to assist rehabilitation therapy, while the control group was given conventional bare-handed stretching rehabilitation therapy. The stretching angle, stretching value, and the effective rate of stretching therapy between the two groups to analyze the clinical value of the new sports rehabilitation therapy bed.

The stretching angle in the experimental group when using the sports rehabilitation therapy bed for stretching was lower than the conventional bare-handed stretching in the control group (T<0, P=0.05), with a statistically significant difference; the stretching values of the experimental group were lower than those of the control group(P<0.01), with a statistically significant difference. Moreover, the response rate of stretching therapy in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05), with a statistically significant difference.

Sports rehabilitation therapy beds can results in the advantages of effectively preventing iatrogenic injury in the process of stretching, and providing a more accurate and convenient stretching therapy method than the current commonly used bare-handed stretching for sports rehabilitation and intervention.
