Popis: | OBJECTIVE: An inter and intra rater reliability (INTERR and INTRAR) study was designed. METHODS: 71 subjects, with primary hip coxarthrosis, were included and randomly divided in a study group (SG= 36) and a control group (CG= 35) to assess the efficacy of the Fascial Manipulation® (FM®) method. The primary objective was the assessment of INTERR and INTRAR about movement verification (MV) and palpation verification (PV) of FM® performed by two physiotherapists (PtA and PtB). The secondary objective was evaluate the efficacy of FM® through MV, PV and pain score. Pain was assessed using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). SG received three weekly sessions of FM® byPtA. PtB re-evaluated all the subjects at the end of the study. RESULTS: Results of the INTERR analysis showed for SG: MV (ICC= 0.92, k= 72.7%); PV (ICC= 0.91, k= 75.7%). For CG : MV (ICC= 0.95, k= 84.2%); PV (ICC= 0.90, k= 75%). Results of the INTRAR analysis for SG reported: MV (ICC= 0.82, k= 74,8%); PV (ICC= 0.60, k= 46.8%); for CG: MV (ICC= 0.93, k= 78.7%); PV (ICC= 0.84, k= 53.3%). Statistical significance were reported in NRS (p = 0.001), MV (p = 0.0003) and PV (p < 0.0001) with better results for SG using “Intention To Treat” method. DISCUSSION: This study demonstrates that FM® assessment procedures have a high reliability even if applied by practitioners with basic experience. Furthermore FM® treatment can improve pain and ROM in individuals with primary coxarthrosis |
