摘要:Exercise related injuries involving oblique and transversal muscles of the abdomen rarely happen.Cntractions such as seen during shooting in football are the main reasons.The case of a 35 year old professional football player with no previous abdominal injury history is reported.Partial ruptures were diagnosed following physical examination and abdominal ultrasonography.Compression bandaging,analgesic and anti-inflammatory drug therapy were applied.Vacuum interferential current,TENS and interrupted mode ultrasound were used as physical therapy.Following the first week,static stretch exercises and running were permitted.The athlete resumed regular training with the team on the 17th day,upon total absence of complaints.
