Zusammenfassung

In dieser offenen Anwendungsbeobachtung wurde an 208 Patienten über 4 Wochen geprüft, ob die Kombination des Massagerollers mit der Waden Massage Pflegelotion die Anzahl der Waden- und Fußkrämpfe senken kann. Zur Prophylaxe wurden täglich über mindestens 5 Minuten die betroffenen Muskeln ausgehend von der Großzehe in Rich-tung der Leiste mit dem Massageroller mit mäßig bis mittelstarkem Druck ausgerollt. Bei 151 Patienten zeigte sich eine deutliche Besserung, indem die Frequenz der Wadenkrämpfe um mehr als die Hälfte abnahm bzw. keine Wadenkrämpfe mehr auftraten. Auch die Krampflänge nahm durch Anwendung des Massagerollers bei einem aktuellen Wadenkrampf ab. Die Häufigkeit und Stärke wurde in einem Fragebogen dokumentiert. Schwangere, jüngere Patienten, solche mit Venenerkrankungen und Männer in jedem sowie Frauen im mittleren Alter profitierten von der Anwendung des Massagerollers am besten.
