I. Overview of the clinical application of intramuscular ligature technique The intramuscular ligature technique was first invented by Dr. Kase in Japan in 1979, which is an innovative concept of non-medicinal, completely using the elastic mechanics of the ligature and human soft tissue interaction. The patch is commonly used in neurological rehabilitation, pain rehabilitation and various types of sports protection and injury management. Second, the main physical characteristics of the intramuscular effect patch The muscle patch is composed of three parts: substrate, adhesive and release material. The base material is waterproof elastic cotton fabric, which is made of cotton and elastic nylon silk mixed textile, with good stretch performance, can guarantee the stretching range in the longitudinal direction over about 60% of the original length, and there is no stretching in the transverse direction in general. Stretch cotton fabric with mesh in the middle, has good breathability. The adhesive is mainly medical acrylic adhesive, with the characteristics of low allergy and high adhesion. The release material refers to the back pro paper, which is used to prevent the posting cloths from sticking to each other and maintain the adhesive performance of the adhesive surface. Third, the basic principle of intramuscular effect ligation technique The muscle patch pulls up the skin and expands the subcutaneous gap. Through the correct method of intramuscular patching, folds can be created on the surface of the patch. The folds create a gap between the skin and subcutaneous tissues, so that the blood and lymphatic circulation of the corresponding tissues is more smooth, the exudate from the injury site is easily absorbed, the fluid retention between the tissues is reduced, the local pressure is reduced, and the injured tissues can be easily reconstructed, thus relieving the pain and discomfort and accelerating the recovery of the injury. The muscle patch plays a supporting and stabilizing role for muscles, ligaments, joints and other tissues The muscle patch can play a supporting and stabilizing role for muscles. The role of ligaments, joints and other tissues, due to its high elasticity without restricting the normal activities of the limbs, and thus the muscle patch plays a better role of protection, support and stability in sports. The positive regulation of muscle, fascia, ligament and joint by the elastic retraction effect of muscle patch Everything has a tendency to be positive and stable. In daily life, people can restore the balance and stability of an object that is out of balance through small external stimulation. This small stimulation can be achieved by shaking, shaking, squeezing and so on. This effect is uninterrupted and has been reported to last for more than 24 hours, so that the body itself is constantly and positively adjusted to a new balance under external stimulation, thus relieving the symptoms. The muscle patch can achieve mechanical stimulation of the skin surface by stimulating the skin surface and its receptors to excite or inhibit the central nervous system to achieve the analgesic effect. It has also been shown that the stimulation of the visceral reflexes of the body by stimulating the skin surface increases the regulation of visceral functions. The thermoregulatory effect of muscle patches can be achieved in several ways. The most obvious is the surface warming effect, the thickness of the patch is similar to that of the skin, so it can be applied to the skin to keep it warm. Secondly, the patch promotes blood circulation and lymphatic reflux, which can play a role in regulating the skin temperature locally. Different colors of patches have certain influence on skin temperature change due to different light absorption rates, thus, if you want to warm up, you can use black or other dark-colored muscle patches, and on the contrary, use white or other light-colored muscle patches. The change in pressure on the surface of the patch produces a benign stimulating effect on the body. When a part of the body is hit or has pain for other reasons, the most instinctive reaction is to hold the painful part with your hand to relieve the pain. In most cases, people usually protect the painful area and apply pressure to the painful area or the proximal end of the painful area with moderate to heavy pressure to relieve the pain. After the same patching, the pressure on the part of the body with the body’s activity pasting the muscle patch is changing, just like a person’s hand is massaging, making the discomfort and pain gradually get relieved. (4) Diseases that can be treated by intramuscular patching Neurological diseases: (1) shoulder joint subluxation after stroke, trunk motor deficiency, hemiplegic gait, shoulder-hand syndrome; (2) peripheral nerve injury: common peroneal nerve injury, ulnar nerve injury, median nerve injury, etc.; (3) pediatric cerebral palsy: knee hyperextension, knee joint hyperextension, acromegaly, foot inversion (valgus), plantar sensory abnormalities; various parts Pain: (1) common problems in the cervical spine: neck muscle tension, neck muscle weakness, poor posture, pillow; (2) common problems in the lumbar spine: lumbar muscle strain, lumbar disc protrusion, poor posture; (3) humeral epicondylitis; humeral medial epicondylitis; (4) knee osteoarthritis; knee soft tissue injury; chondromalacia patella; (5) ankle sprain; others: edema after fracture, muscle strain (3) post-operative lymphedema, post-radical breast cancer surgery, pediatric slant neck.
