Abstract

Background: Interventions using vibration stimulation can increase the range of motion (ROM) without compromising muscle strength. Handheld percussive massage directly stimulates the focal area. Therefore, its effectiveness may be affected depending on the areas of stimulation. Thus, this study aimed to compare the effects of handheld percussive massage to different stimulation areas on shoulder internal rotation ROM and shoulder external rotation muscle strength and torque.

Methods: This crossover study included 15 healthy male volunteers (20.6±1.5 years). A 5-min percussive massage was applied to three posterior shoulder areas: the muscle belly, proximal muscle-tendon junction, and distal muscle-tendon junction. Internal rotation ROM (vertebral level and abduction position) and external rotation muscle strength (isometric and concentric) were measured before and immediately after the intervention and compared.

Results: Internal rotation ROM (vertebral level and abduction position) showed a time effect (P<0.05). No interaction or between-condition effects were observed. Post hoc testing showed a change in internal rotation ROM (vertebral level and abduction position) after intervention at the three stimulation areas (P<0.05). Muscular strength did not show any interaction, time, or between-condition effects.

Conclusions: Handheld percussive massage therapy to various posterior shoulder soft tissue areas increased the internal rotation ROM without decreasing the external rotation maximum voluntary contraction torque.

手持式冲击按摩治疗对健康年轻男性后肩不同软组织区域的急性影响。
背景:使用振动刺激的干预可以在不影响肌肉力量的情况下增加运动范围(ROM)。手持式冲击按摩直接刺激病灶区域。因此,它的效果可能会受到刺激区域的影响。因此,本研究旨在比较不同刺激区域手持式冲击按摩对肩关节内旋ROM和肩关节外旋肌肉力量和扭矩的影响。方法:本交叉研究纳入15名健康男性志愿者(20.6±1.5岁)。对肩部后三个区域:肌肉腹部、近端肌肉-肌腱连接处和远端肌肉-肌腱连接处进行5分钟的冲击按摩。在干预前后立即测量内旋ROM(椎体水平和外展位置)和外旋肌力(等距和同心)并进行比较。结果:内旋ROM(椎体水平位和外展位)具有时间效应(p)。结论:手持式冲击按摩治疗肩后各软组织区可增加内旋ROM,但不降低外旋最大自主收缩力矩。
