Objective
To observe the clinical efficacy of deep muscle stimulation in the treatment of gluteus minimus injury.
Methods
Fifty-two patients with gluteus minimus injury were collected in Department of Rehabilitation First People's Hospital of Dongning from December 2011 to January 2014, and were divided into treatment group and control group according to the random number expression method, 26 cases in each group respectively. There were 15 male and 11 female patients in treatment group, with an average age of(39.25±8.30)years, average during of the disease ( 2.60±1.06 ) years, and VAS score averaged ( 5.12±0.96) points. In control group, there were 15 male patients and 11 female patients, with the average age of ( 39.73±6.52 ) years,average during of the disease ( 2.45±0.94 ) years, and VAS score averaged ( 5.19±1.08 ) points. The treatment group was treated by deep muscle stimulation, and control group was treated with traditional massage therapy.After four weeks treatment, the curative effects were evaluated according to the disease diagnosis of traditional Chinese medicine efficacy standard. SPSS13.0 statistical software was used for data analysis. The counting data were analysed by χ2test. P<0.05 for the difference was statistically significant.
Results
After four weeks of treatment, 20 cases were cured, 4 cases were markedly effective, 2 cases were better, 0 cases was ineffective, the effective rate was 76.92% ( 20/26 ), and the total effective rate was 100% ( 26/26 ) in treatment group. In control group, 12 cases were cured, 6 cases were markedly effective, 2 cases were better, 6 cases were ineffective, the cure rate was 46.15% ( 12/26 ), and the total effective rate was 76.92% ( 20/26 ). There were significant differences in the cure rate and the total effective rate between treatment group and control group (χ2=5.20, 4.71, all P<0.05 ).
Conclusion
The treatment of deep muscle stimulation has significant clinical effect on gluteus minimus injury.
