EFECTO REHABILITADOR DEL TENIS EN PACIENTES CON LESIONES EN LA ARTICULACIÓN DE LA RODILLA

ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Knee joint injuries are common, and their pathogenesis is complex.

Objective:

To study the rehabilitation effect of tennis on patients with joint injury.

Methods:

We use literature, a questionnaire, and other research methods to investigate the joint injuries of 126 athletes who participated in the 19th University Tennis Championships in 2014. We use sports anatomy knowledge combined with tennis special techniques for analysis.

Results:

The rehabilitation group was better than the control group (p<0.01) in curative effect, duration of the knee pain, time until ligament reconstruction happened, knee joint movement range, knee joint movement pain degree, lower limb walking function score, and self-care ability. There was no statistical difference in accidental injuries between the two groups (p>0.05).

Conclusions:

When compared to conventional methods, the rehabilitation program was effective in treating knee joint sports injuries. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment results.
