EN Abstract:
  Objective: To compare the efficacy of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) vs. ultrasound (US) in the treatment of post-traumatic knee dysfunction. Methods: A total of 60 patients with post-traumatic unilateral knee dysfunction were randomly assigned to 2 groups: ESWT group and US group. All patients were given a rehabilitation method including joint mobilization, strength training and cold therapy. ESWT group received ESWT for 8 sessions twice per week. US group received US for 20 sessions. The patients were evaluated before and 4 weeks after treatment. Measurements were made using visual analogue scale (VAS), passive range of motion (ROM) and hospital for special surgery knee score (HSS). Results:Both groups showed significant improvements in terms of VAS (P<0.01), passive ROM (P<0.01) and HSS (P<0.01) after treatment. The VAS scores in the ESWT group were reduced significantly as compared with those in the US group (P<0.01). The ROM and HSS scores in the ESWT group increased significantly as compared with those in the US group (P<0.01). Conclusion: It is suggested ESWT is significantly more effective than US in the treatment of post-traumatic knee dysfunction.
