摘要
本研究通过超声测量横波速度(SWV)来评估反力支具对肘关节总伸肌起点(CEO)肌腱的生物力学影响。假设反力支撑可以减少SWV,这是肌腱刚度的替代测量,同时手腕和手指伸肌在不同程度的最大自愿收缩(MVC)下收缩。在本横断面研究中,19名健康受试者(年龄±SD: 30±9)被纳入研究。在前臂施加0或80 mmHg压力的反力支具。在四种不同的腕伸肌MVC水平下测量SWV: 0%、20%、30%和40%。反力支撑对CEO肌腱静止SWV (V-statistic = 86, p = 0.74)、20% (V-statistic = 105, p = 0.71)、30% (V-statistic = 87, p = 0.77)、40% (V-statistic = 94, p = 0.98)的MVC无显著影响。重复测量的Friedman检验显示,SWV随着手腕伸展MVC水平的增加而增加(x2 = 7.9, p = 0.048)。总之,在休息状态下或腕伸肌收缩时,反力支具对肘关节的CEO似乎没有生物力学影响。CEO的SWV是肌腱刚度的代表,随着MVC水平的增加而增加。
Does a counterforce brace reduce common extensor tendon loading during a wrist extension task? An in vivo study
This study assessed the biomechanical effect of a counterforce brace on the common extensor origin (CEO) tendon at the elbow via the measurement of shear wave velocity (SWV) using ultrasound. The counterforce brace was hypothesised to reduce SWV, which is a proxy measure of tendon stiffness, whilst the wrist and finger extensors were contracting at different levels of maximum voluntary contraction (MVC). In this cross-sectional study, nineteen healthy participants (age±SD: 30±9) were included in the study. The counterforce brace was applied with either 0 or 80 mmHg pressure to the forearm. The SWV was measured under four different wrist extensors MVC levels: 0%, 20%, 30%, and 40%. The counterforce brace had no significant effect on CEO tendon SWV at rest (V-statistic = 86, p = 0.74), 20% (V-statistic = 105, p = 0.71), 30% (V-statistic = 87, p = 0.77), or 40% (V-statistic = 94, p = 0.98) of MVC. The Friedman test for repeated measures showed an increase in SWV with greater levels of wrist extension MVC (x2 = 7.9, p = 0.048). In conclusion, the counterforce brace does not appear to have a biomechanical effect on the CEO of the elbow during resting conditions or whilst the wrist extensors are contracting. The SWV of the CEO, a proxy for tendon stiffness, increases with greater levels of MVC.
