Functional Exercise on Patients After Sports Meniscus Injury

Abstract

Introduction Knee meniscus injury is a common sports injury, and minimally invasive surgery under knee arthroscopy has become an ideal method to treat meniscus injuries. This surgery rehabilitation has been improved, and several studies on the effects of functional exercise in the range of treatment are still inconclusive. Objective Study the functional exercise rehabilitation effects in patients after sports meniscus injury. Methods Twenty patients with meniscus-medial injury being operated on were selected, including eight men and 12 women. They were randomly divided into neuromuscular and strength training groups (11). Signs and symptoms were assessed before and eight weeks after treatment. JOA score indices and gait tests were compared. The impact of rehabilitation differences was evaluated in each group. Results Eight weeks after rehabilitation in both groups, the scores of the strength training group were higher than the neuromuscular group; the difference between the groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Functional exercise accelerates joint recovery, reflected in increased strength of adjacent muscles. The muscle and joint training effects on postoperative meniscus injury are worthy of recognition. The baropodometry revealed distinctions in walking patterns between different rehabilitation methods. From the perspective of this research, rehabilitation methods combined with proprioceptive exercises are complementary. Evidence Level II; Therapeutic Studies - Investigating the result.
