Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical effects of
Muscle Energy Technique (MET) for peroneal nerve palsy after normal delivery.
Methods: Two patients with peroneal nerve palsy were treated with acupuncture,
moxibustion, cupping and MET. MET was performed in piriform, gluteus medius,
anterior tibial and adductor muscles. To evaluate the effect of MET, we analyzed
Ankle dorsiflexion range of motion (ROM), Manual Muscle Test (MMT), Numerical
Rating Scale (NRS) and Ankle Hindfoot Scale (AHS).
Results: In Case 1, ROM score was changed from -5 to 20, and MMT score
was changed from 0 to 4. NRS score was changed from 5 to 1, and her AHS
score was changed from 54 to 94 after treatment.
In Case 2, ROM score was changed from 0 to 20, and her MMT score was
changed from 1 to 5. NRS score was changed from 4 to 1, and her AHS score
was changed from 64 to 97 after treatment.
Conclusions: MET may be a useful treatment for patients who, shortly after
childbirth or while breastfeeding, strongly refuse to treat the irritation.
