ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Sports injuries in the anterior cruciate ligament of the knee are common and serious in the field of sports and rehabilitation medicine.
Objective:
To observe the effect of early comprehensive rehabilitation training on knee function recovery after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
Methods:
40 patients were randomly divided into observation group (n = 19) and control group (n = 21). The control group received routine rehabilitation training and the observation group had water exercise added to their intervention. The active knee flexion range, extension range, and Lysholm score were observed before and 3 months after rehabilitation training.
Results:
3 months after training, the active knee flexion range and extension range in the observation group were better than those in the control group (p< 0.05). Lysholm score in the observation group (91.2 ± 5.6) was higher than that in the control group (78.3 ± 4.8), and the difference was statistically significant (p< 0.05).
Conclusions:
Early systematic rehabilitation training can reduce pain and swelling and improve the function of the knee joint after operation. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment results.
