Abstract des Autors
Obejctive: To evaluate the effect of Rebox stimulation on an experimental model of soft tissue inflammation. Design: Randomized trial, partially blinded, comparing a control group with active and placebo Rebox. Subjects: Thirty healthy volunteers, 15 women. Methods: Delayed onset muscle soreness was induced in biceps brachii muscle by weighted eccentric exercise. Rebox stimulation was applied daily for 3 days using a negatively charged probe electrode, at pulse duration of 100/micro-sec, amplitude of 160 micro-amp, and frequency of 3000 Hz. Outcome Measures: Daily ratings of pain by visual analogue scale (VAS), and tenderness by pressure-pain threshold (PPT) and pressure-pain tolerance (PT). Results: Significant increases in VAS and decreases in PPT and PT were found at 24 and 48 hours. There were no differences between groups. Conclusion: Rebox had no effect on this experimental model of soft tissue injury. Verf.-Referat
