Bu çalýþma eklemlerinin yumuþak dokularýnda travma olan hastalarda aktif tedavi programý olarak uyguladýðýmýz ultrason tedavisinin etkinliðini araþtýrmak amacýyla uygulandý. Konvansiyonel tedavi olarak uygulanan alçý ve atelle eklemleri immobilizasyona alýnan 72 olgu kontrol, ultrasonla tedavi edilen 116 olgu ise deney grubu olarak ele alýndý. Tedavi grubundaki hastalar tedavi öncesi ve tedavinin 3., 5., 7. ve 10. günlerinde ödem, ekimoz, hematom, hassasiyet, aðrý, eklem hareket geniþlikleri, kontrol olgularý da tesbit öncesi ve sonrasýnda ayný kriterler yönünden deðerlendirildiler.

ACTIVE THERAPY PROGRAMME WITH ULTRASOUND ON SOFT TISSUE JOINT INJURIES

This study was carried out to investigate the efficiency of active therapy programme with ultrasound on various joints of the patients with soft tissue injuries. 72 Patients who received conventional therapy on their injuried extremities with cant plaster or splint were control group. 116 patients who received ultrasounic therapy were study group. Study group patients were evaluated before the therapy and on the 3rd, 5th., 7th. and 10th. Days of the therapy with respect to odema, ecchymosis, hematoma, tenderness, pain, range of motion criteria. Control patients evaluated with respect to same criteria before and after cast plaster or splint. As a result of our studies, we observed that rapid organic and functional healing was achieved in study group. They returned to normal functional activities on the 10th. days of therapy. But control group patients' joint motions were more restricted because of the immobilisation.
