Cases from private practices - Papimi

After the treatment, cold compresses were applied for 15 minutes and the functional splint was
placed back. The edema was reduced greatly after the second treatment. The football players began light
running exercises on the fourth day after the injury, with their splints completely removed.
The same day, they started special reinforcement exercises for the ankle.
RESULTS
60% of the football players recovered completely the 6 th day and returned to their athletic obligations.
Recovery reduction time was down to 30%.
30% of the football players recovered the 8 th day after the injury.
Recovery reduction time was down to 44%.
10 % of the football players were feeling annoyance at the 10 th day.
In this case, the two players remaining (20x10%=2) recovered the 13 th and 14 th day accordingly.
Recovery reduction time was down to 75%.
Pharmaceutical treatment was not given at all.
Conclusively: We have proven that the method -by applying the PAP IMI Device - Bio Pulse
Generator - for football players with second grade sprain of the ankle, the time of recovery was
significantly reduced and allowed the players to come back to their athletic activities in a much
shorter time and before the next weekly match.
Notice 1.
We have distinguished the injuries in four different categories
In the first category we distinguished the type of the injury (automatic muscle injury from
cicatrices, injury of arthrosis)
In the second category we determined the point of trauma to establish whether some parts of the
body are more fender
In the third category we distinguished the time periods that the injuries were occurred (preliminary
training, climate conditions, tense match obligations)
In the fourth category we noted the number of the pathological cases during the match period
The total number of the football players that were included at this research was 68
Due to the longer time of non-participation to local matches during the last summer period,
because of the World Championship, there was enough time to most chronic injuries to cure. The time of
the preliminary training was prolonged. So the training period was increased smoothly and there were no
actual new injuries
For a team that worked less hard at the beginning, giving friendly matches more sprains occurred
later during the championship
Notice 2.
For teams that had more matches’ participations (championships, links, national obligations) more
muscular injuries and knee’s injuries occurred, mainly at the period of the increased matches’ obligations
For a team that is trying to remain at one category and which does not have a permanent area of
training, more injuries are observed to occur for the ankle during the rain period when stadiums are
usually in bad conditions. Also an increase of automatic muscle injuries occurs after the change of the
coach or after the change of the training type.
