Santrauka:
Numatoma tirti vieną vaikiną, kuris turėjo Achilo sausgyslės rekonstrukcijos operaciją ir šiuo tyrimu nustatyti propriocepcijos sutrikimus atsiradusius po šios operacijos bei nustatyti bei palyginti čiurnos sąnarių sveikos ir operuotos kojos judesių amplitudes (lenkimo, tiesimo).
Description:
The object of the study: proprioception and ankle joint function of 22-years-old male amateur basketball player who suffered Achilles tendon rupture resulting in Achilles tendon reconstruction surgery.
The aim of the study: Determine the effects of complications on proprioception and ankle joint function after Achilles tendon reconstruction surgery on a young male basketball player.
The goals of the study:
1. To determine the proprioception disorders in lower extremity after Achilles tendon reconstruction surgery.
2. To determine the range of ankle motions (dorsiflexion, plantar flexion) in healthy and injured leg.
3. To compare the range of ankle motions (dorsiflexion, plantar flexion) between both legs.
Methods: At the beginning, we conducted a scientific literature analysis, generalization, comparative and interpretive methods. In the research part, we used these methods: goniometry, modified star excursion test (Y test) of the lower extremity, Thompson test to examine the integrity of the Achilles tendon, Romberg test for balance examination, Tinetti test for gait analysis. Moreover, data about the subject was collected by interviewing the participant.
Results: The results showed that there was an insignificant change in proprioception and in ranges of motion (both dorsiflexion and plantar flexion) in the leg, which suffered the Achilles tendon reconstruction surgery.
Conclusions:
1. The subject who suffered Achilles tendon reconstruction surgery showed an insignificant proprioception disorder, which are best seen when the subject is walking.
2. Having determined the ranges of ankle joint movements, a slight decrease in the amplitudes has been determined comparing with the common range of motion normative for ankle flexion and dorsiflexion.
3. Comparing left (injured) and right (healthy) legs both proprioception and ranges of ankle joint motion we determined that the subject is having insignificant issues walking and standing.
