Abstract
Groin pain related adductor strain in athletes is a
common problem in sports medicine as much as groin injuries. The aim
of the present study was to investigate effect of diode laser (905 nm) and
Fascial Distortion Model (FDM) on groin adductor strain in handball
athletes.
Methods: Forty handball male and female athletes with adductor groin
strain were divided into two groups. The experimental group (A) who
received Diode laser 905nm, FDM and medical treatment, while the
control group (B) that received the sham laser, FDM and medical
treatment . Outcome measures included the Copenhangen hip and groin
outcome score (HAGOS), pressure algometry, creatine kinase and lactate
dehydrogenase levels.
Results: both groups showed significant difference in the outcome
measures in the post treatment assessment, but the experimental group
showed a more significant improvement than the control group with pvalue >0.05.
Conclusion: the results imply that treatment of adductor groin strain in
handball athletes by FDM and diode LLLT is more effective than FDM
alone.
