Abstract
ObjectiveTo explore the effect of individualized strength training based on adjustable sandbags in early rehabilitation after total knee arthroplasty.
MethodsFrom November 2019 to November 2020, convenience sampling was used to select 60 patients admitted to the Joint Surgery Department of the Affiliated Huaian First People's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University as the research object. According to the random number table, the patients were divided into the experimental group and the control group, 30 cases in each group. The patients in the control group were given routine rehabilitation after operation, and the patients in the experimental group received individualized strength training using adjustable sandbags in the early postoperative period. The Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) and the range of motion of the knee joint were compared between the two groups on the third day, the seventh day after operation and at the time of discharge.
ResultsOn the third and seventh days after operation and at the time of discharge, the HSS score and the range of motion of the knee joint in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05) .
ConclusionsEarly implementation of individualized strength training based on adjustable sandbags can promote postoperative rehabilitation of patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty, and improve their ability to adapt to early ambulation.
