Rehabilitation effect of hauntong high frequency sonic hydrotherapy on sports injury of elbow joint
Anatomy of the elbow joint
The elbow joint is composed of the lower end of the humerus, the upper end of the ulna and the radius, and includes three joints, namely the humeral joint, the humeroradial joint and the proximal radioulnar joint. Can do flexion and extension exercises, and also participate in the pronation and supination of the forearm.
The elbow joint acts as a link between the upper arm and the forearm, and plays the role of connecting the upper arm and the lower arm. In sports, the elbow joint is easily injured. Elbow injuries are common in athletes such as javelin, volleyball, gymnastics, tennis, and golf. The mechanism of injury is common in olecranon fractures, including indirect external force traction injury and direct violent injury. Indirect external force is mostly caused by sudden flexion of the elbow joint and strong contraction of the triceps muscle, resulting in an avulsion fracture of the olecranon. Displacement of the end up, the direct external force is mainly caused by the direct grounding of the back of the elbow after a fall, and comminuted fractures are formed, and radial head fractures or elbow joint dislocations are often combined.
However, after flexion, the triceps brachii muscle contracts strongly and the avulsion fracture of the olecranon occurs. The proximal end is displaced upward. The direct external force is mainly caused by the direct contact with the back of the elbow after the fall. Combined with radial head fracture or elbow joint dislocation.
The traditional method of rehabilitation treatment is mainly exercise therapy, and the patient is treated with rehabilitation by the rehabilitation practitioner. It is mainly for traction and smoothing the affected limb. The therapist should place the thumbs of both hands below the olecranon, push and straighten the elbow joint to reset the bone and joint.
Traditional exercise therapy can also recover the injured elbow joint of the patient to a certain extent, but the time will be relatively long.
As an emerging rehabilitation technique, hydrotherapy plays a key role when the elbow joint is damaged. Hydrotherapy, also known as water bath therapy, is the use of water with different temperature, pressure and solute content to act on the human body in different ways to improve the healing effect, so as to achieve the treatment of disease prevention and treatment, health care and health preservation. Traditional water bath is an external treatment method of Chinese medicine, while modern hydrotherapy is a branch of physical therapy.
At present, hydrotherapy is a kind of physical rehabilitation therapy that is widely used. The main effects on the human body are temperature stimulation, mechanical stimulation, chemical stimulation and psychological effects.
Cold water can improve muscle stress, reduce pain, deepen breathing, reduce inflammation, reduce swelling, etc.; warm water can promote blood circulation, strengthen metabolism, relax muscles, relieve pain, etc.; blood pressure can increase during hot water baths, and heartbeat speeds up. The secretion of sweat glands increased, and sweating increased significantly. Hydrostatic pressure stimulation can regulate respiratory function, promote blood circulation and lymphatic reflux, and reduce edema. It is one of the sources of resistance for muscle training. Shock stimulation can cause blood vessel dilation and nerve excitement. It can also be used to clean open wounds, scabs and old dressings.
According to Archimedes's law, the weight of a human body sinking into water is approximately equal to the weight of the human body discharging the same volume of water. Generally, the weight of the human body lost in water is approximately 9/10 of its body weight. Therefore, when walking in water, the pressure on the ground is much less than when walking on land. If the muscle strength of the lower limbs is very weak, the patient can also lift his legs for walking training with the help of water buoyancy. People walking in the water will be subject to the resistance of water, and the density of water is 827 times higher than that of air, so the viscous resistance of people moving in water is about 19 times that of people walking in air. This means that when a person walks on a treadmill on land and a treadmill in the water, if the speed of the treadmill and the walking time are the same, the energy consumed by water sports is about 10 times more than that on land.
According to different body conditions, different trace elements, minerals, drugs and gases can be added to the bath to enhance the hydrotherapy effect and make the body obtain special reactions.
Water current impact has a good soothing effect on the body, harmonizes nerve activities, has a relaxing effect, makes people happy, and can achieve good psychological conditioning effects.
For elbow joint injuries, you can choose to rejuvenate high-frequency sonic hydrotherapy and choose the supporting series of functional products of rejuvenation hydrotherapy and health conditioning.
The main properties of hydrotherapy and its products are: inner acupoint stimulation, outer lymphatic stimulation, good rehabilitation effect; spiral water jet technology, which can stimulate acupoints directly and effectively; it can effectively stimulate and restore lower limb dysfunction.
The patient's hands are placed on both sides of the bathtub. Mainly to reduce pain and inflammation. During the adaptation period, it should be noted that passive joint activities should not be excessive. Practice within the range of pain. When the range of motion gradually improves, you can start low-intensity strength exercises. Exercises must also be performed within the range of pain. Hydrotherapy uses its unique flowing water to impact the upper limbs of patients, and exercise effectively in the early stage of rehabilitation, which can prevent patients from joint stiffness, tissue muscle disuse atrophy and tissue adhesion, reduce clinical complications, and consolidate the efficacy of surgery.
The patient takes the initiative to exercise, the main purpose of training is to normalize the range of motion and strength of the elbow joint 
1. Pull water inward
The training frequency is about 10-15 times. While pulling the water forward with both hands, stretch the subscapularis, teres minor, and teres major muscles. The upper arms and elbows should be tightly attached.
2. Push water outward
The training frequency is: 15 times. Push the water out with your hands outwards. When pushing the water, straighten your arms and do not bend your elbows.
Huantong's high-frequency sonic spa bath is used in conjunction with Huantong's self-developed medicated bath powder and micro-mineral salt. Once a day for half a month. Helps quickly restore muscle elasticity and promote the absorption of calcium by bones.
