Este estudio pretende determinar la eficacia del masaje tendo-muscular. El método utilizado en la investigación es cuantitativo descriptivo. La muestra de este estudio ascendió a 30 personas que habían sufrido lesiones de rodilla de leves a moderadas durante la práctica de deportes y otras actividades físicas. El orden de recogida de datos, a saber, se inicia con la medición pretest, a continuación se aplica un único tratamiento de masaje tendo-muscular que se lleva a cabo durante 8 minutos y finaliza con una medición postest. A continuación, los datos de la investigación obtenidos se analizan con métodos cuantitativos descriptivos. Los datos de la escala de intervalos y proporciones que cumplían la prueba de normalidad se analizaron mediante la prueba estadística paramétrica de la prueba t de muestras pareadas, mientras que los datos que no cumplían la prueba de normalidad mediante las pruebas estadísticas no paramétricas de wilcoxon. Los resultados de las mediciones con la escala visual analógica (EVA) experimentaron una reducción media del dolor de 2,5 y una significación de 0,000 <0,05, mientras que la amplitud de movimiento medida con un goniómetro experimentó un aumento medio de 6 grados, recuento T de 6,819 y significación 0,000 en los movimientos de flexión y un aumento medio de 0,88 grados, recuento T de 7,848 y significación 0,000 en los movimientos de extensión, así como un aumento de la función de movimiento articular del 28,83%. Por lo tanto, se puede concluir que el masaje tendo-muscular tiene un efecto significativo en la reducción del dolor y el aumento de la amplitud de movimiento (ROM) de la articulación de la rodilla.

Abstract. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of tendo-muscular massage. The method used in the research is descriptive quantitative. The sample in this study amounted to 30 people who had mild to moderate knee injuries during sports and other physical activities. The order of data collection, namely starting with the pretest measurement, then given a one-time tendo-muscullar massage treatment which is carried out for 8 minutes and ends with a posttest measurement. The research data that has been obtained is then analysed with descriptive quantitative. Interval and ratio scale data that met the normality test were analysed using the paired sample t-test parametric statistical test, while data that did not meet the normality test using the wilcoxon non-parametric statistical tests. The results of measurements with the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) experienced an average pain reduction of 2.5 and a significance of 0.000 <0.05, while the range of motion measured with a goniometer experienced an average increase of 6 degrees, T count of 6,819 and Significance 0.000 in flexion movements and an average increase of 0.88 degrees, T count of 7,848 and Significance 0.000 in extension movements, as well as an increase in joint motion function of 28.83%. So it can be concluded that Tendo-muscular massage has a significant effect on reducing pain and increasing the range of motion (ROM) of the knee joint.
