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.
