Details and patient eligibility

About

To compare the effects of facial distortion model and equipment assisted soft tissue mobilization techniques on the treatment process, which are among the applications in the rehabilitation process after meniscus repair.

Full description

It is possible that pain, ROM, lower extremity flexibility and knee functions will be negatively affected after arthroscopic meniscus repair. This study searches and compares the effectiveness of fascial distortion model (FDM) and IASTM methods for these parameters that can be affected.

Enrollment: 33 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 55 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers
