Abstract

Background: Proprioception is critical for older adults to maintain their balance and prevent falling. However, massage is a convenient intervention that its beneficial effect on the proprioception is suggested.

Purpose: This study aimed to determine whether one session of stimulating massage of the muscles around the knee joint improves position sense in older adult men.

Methods: Twenty healthy older adults participated in this blind, randomized, crossover trial. The two treatment phases were massage and rest. The washout period between interventions was a 1-week interval. The massage protocol was as follows: deep effleurage, petrissage, and tapotement for 5 minutes for the anterior (tensor fascia lata, quadriceps, sartorius, and gracilis) and posterior (hamstrings) muscles of the knee (10 minutes in total).

Results: Outcome measures were absolute, constant, and variable errors (AE, CE, and VE). Participants were assessed immediately before and after the intervention by a blinded investigator. Independent t-tests were used for statistical analyses. Massage reduced absolute error (2.77°, p = 0.01).

Conclusion: The finding of this study confirms the beneficial impact of the massage on the joint position sense in healthy older adult men.

单次刺激按摩对健康老年男性膝关节位置感的影响：随机交叉试验

背景：本体感觉对于老年人保持平衡和防止跌倒至关重要。目的：本研究旨在确定对膝关节周围肌肉进行一次刺激性按摩是否能改善老年男性的位置感：方法：20 名健康的老年人参加了这项盲法、随机、交叉试验。两个治疗阶段分别为按摩和休息。两次治疗之间的冲洗期为 1 周。按摩方案如下：对膝关节前部（筋膜张肌、股四头肌、腓肠肌和腓肠肌）和后部（腘绳肌）肌肉进行深层按摩、揉捏和拍打，每次 5 分钟（共 10 分钟）：结果测量为绝对误差、恒定误差和可变误差（AE、CE 和 VE）。参与者在干预前和干预后立即接受盲人调查员的评估。统计分析采用独立 t 检验。按摩减少了绝对误差（2.77°，P = 0.01）：本研究结果证实了按摩对健康老年男性关节位置感的有益影响。
