Sequence of application and assessment of the means of physical rehabilitation of surgical patient after arthroscopic-controlled restoration of the anterior cruciate ligament

Abstract

Aim of the study: to improve the results of rehabilitation treatment of surgical patient after damage to the anterior cruciate ligament of the knee joint. Material and methods: General scientific, pedagogical observations, rehabilitation examination, medical and pedagogical testing, pedagogical experiment, visual analogue pain scale (VAS), Tegner-Lysholm scales, International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC - 2000), methods mathematical statistics. The study involved men who were divided into 2 groups: the main (25) and control (23). The age of the examined varied from 25 to 44 years, on average in the main group 28.18 ± 0.51 years, and in the control - 27,15±0,59. Results: The results of rehabilitation treatment of surgical patient after damage to the anterior cruciate ligament of the knee joint by introducing an original program of physical rehabilitation at the preoperative and postoperative stage are presented. The place and role of electromyostimulation of the muscles of the anterior and posterior thigh groups in the process of physical rehabilitation are indicated. Conclusions: In the course of the study, the feasibility of using physical rehabilitation means for the priority restoration of the tone, strength, and muscle mass of the posterior group of the lower limb was proved in comparison with the traditional program of physical rehabilitation.
