| Abstract | ||||
| Purpose: There is paucity of prospective studies assessing the treatment of Osgood- Schlatter disease (OSD).This study was conducted to investigate the functional performance profile of young men. Methods: Fifty young men with a history of OSD randomly assigned into two groups; their ages ranged between 17-21years old. Group A had a conventional physical therapy program with extracorporeal shockwave therapy while group B, had the same conventional treatment program. Sessions executed three times a week for two months. Then, conducted the assessment using a modified one hundred points rating scale. This scale based upon five variables (symptoms, functional tests, clinical examination, performance tests and muscle testing). The basic grading scale broken down into four categories: Excellent=90-100; Good=80-89; Fair=70-79 and Poor=69 or below. Therefore, measurements scored before as well as after the end of treatment program. Results: Before treatment (group A); excellent 2 patients, good 13 patients, fair 8 patients, poor 2 patients, for (group B); excellent one patient, good 17 patients and fair 7 patients. While after treatment; (group A); excellent 17 patients, good 8 patients; for (group B); excellent 11 patients, good 13 patients, Revealed statistically significant improvement in the measuring variables of both groups when comparing pre and post treatment mean values. Results denoted significant differences in the measured variables in favor of group (A) when compared with that of group (B) (p > 0.05). Conclusion: The study support the application of shock wave therapy to improve functional performance in young men having a history of Osgood- Schlatter Disease. | ||||
