Abstract: ObjectiveTo study the rehabilitation effect on metatarsalyia with combination of thermotherapy, computerized medium-frequency electrotherapy,exercise therapy and ADL.Methods70 cases with metatarsalyia were randomly divided into two groups: the control group of 35 cases who were given routine treatment and the experiment group of 35 cases who were added thermotherapy, computerized medium-frequency electrotherapy, exercise therapy and ADL. 30 days later, the evaluating score for walking was used to evaluate the rehabilitation effect.ResultsIn the control group, 14 cases were cured, 8 cases remarkably effective, 10 effective and 3 ineffective, while that in the experiment group was 22 cured, 7 remarkably effective, 5 effective, and 1 ineffective(P<0.05). The mean of the difference in evaluation scoring before and after the treatment was (28.00±20.26) for the control,(38.29±21.35) for the experiment (P<0.05). The average cure days was (18.00±6.45) for the experiment and (23.00±7.64) for the control(P<0.05).ConclusionThe combined treatment produces is remarkably effective for metatarsalyia.
