Abstract

In order to maintain and develop of range of motion (ROM)in
an amputated limb, the superior joint of the stump should be
under effective stretching exercises. However, the preference
of one of the methods has always been a controversial between
researchers. The purpose of the study is to compare the effects
of two methods of static stretching (S.S) and PNF hold-relax
technique (HR)on increasing the knee ROM of B.K. amputee
athletes.
Methods: The subjects were consisted of 19 B.K. male
amputated athletes, with mean age of 35±5 years; and mean
stump length of 19±7cm., which they were randomly divided
into two groups of static stretching exercises (N=9); and PNF
exercises (N= 10). The subjects were matched regarding to
stump length. ROM were measured in Active Knee Extension
(AKET) method by the same tester and using "Lighton
Flexometer" with the reliability of 90-99%. The exercise
protocol of both groups consisted of 12 sessions of 20 minutes
training. Training sessions of group 1 (S.S.) were consisted of 5
types of stretching exercises with 4 times repetitions. Training
sessions of group 2 (PNF)were consisted of 3 stages of maximal
isometric contraction, relaxation, and then 4 maximal isotonic
contractions.
Results: In both groups (s.s &PNF),the ROM of the knee
joint increased significantly (P < 0.05). In regard to increasing
the ROMN of knee joints of the subjects, there was no significant
difference between two methods.
Conclusion: The study showed the effects of flexibility
exercises on improvement of ROM of knee joints of amputee
athletes. Therefore it emphasizes the requirements of static
stretching exercises and PNF exercises by the coaches in order
to improve ROM of amputees and to rehabilitate them.
