Effects of Cryotherapy on Lower Extremity Joint Biomechanics during Running
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION Cryotherapy is widely employed as a conservative intervention for acute and chronic injuries in patients and athletes. Reduction of pain, edema and inflammation, as well as muscle spasm relief and movement facilitation are some of the benefits of cryotherapy [1]. However, potentially negative effects have also been reported such as a decrease in fiber conduction velocity whereby the proprioception input may be altered [2]. Hence, athletic performance after cryotherapy may also be affected [3].

Objective Running is known as one of the most popular sports for which there is no time and space limit. Recently, due to lifestyle changes, the use of treadmills for walking and running has increased. However, the biomechanical differences in coordination between running on a treadmill at different speeds have not been sufficiently addressed. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect...
متن کاملThe effect of knee orthosis on co-contraction values of knee and ankle muscles during running in people with knee deformity in the frontal plane.
Background and Aims: the use of knee orthosis changes the mechanics of running. One of the important biomechanical factors in rehabilitation and injury prevention is co-contraction of knee and ankle joints. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of knee orthosis on changes in the contraction of knee and ankle muscles during running in people with genu varum. Mat...
