目的 观察肌内效贴联合物理治疗急性踝关节扭伤的临床疗效。方法 将52例急性踝关节扭伤患者随机均分为肌内效贴联合物理治疗组(观察组)和常规物理治疗组(对照组),分别于治疗前及治疗后第5、10天时观察患部肿胀程度和VAS评分及踝关节kofoed评分。结果 治疗后第5、10天时两组肿胀程度和VAS评分较治疗前好转(P＜0.05),kofoed评分较治疗前升高(P＜0.05)。观察组在肿胀改善、VAS评分及kofoed评分方面均优于对照组(P＜0.05)。结论 肌内效贴联合物理治疗改善急性踝关节伤患者临床症状,改善踝关节功能,临床疗效优于单纯物理治疗。

Objective The purpose of this pilot study was to investigate the effectiveness of kinesio taping combined with conventional physiotherapy for acute ankle sprain patients. Methods 52 acute ankle sprain patients were randomly divided into kinesio taping combined with conventional physiotherapy group(observation group) and the conventional physiotherapy group(control group),and to observe the changes of the affected part of swelling and the visual analogue scale(VAS)and the extent of the ankle joint function recovery situation at the fifth day and the tenth day respectively. Results Two groups suffering from swelling part and the VAS was improved after the treatment at the fifth day and the tenth day (P<0.05), and the ankle kofoed scores were increased too (P<0.05). The observation group in improving the swelling, VAS and kofoed score were significantly better than the control group (P< 0.05). Conclusion Kinesio taping combined with conventional physiotherapy can be a more effective therapeutic technique for treating acute ankle sprain.
