Osteonecrosis can occur in a wide range of areas, and the exercise methods vary greatly. Taking the common osteonecrosis of the femoral head as an example, patients with stable condition can carry out training such as weight reduction exercise, lying exercise, sitting split method, standing leg lifting method, internal rotation and external extension method, etc. Exercise is usually not recommended for patients with more serious condition.
Rehabilitation exercises for osteonecrosis of the femoral head must be carried out under the guidance of rehabilitation or orthopedic medical personnel after the patient’s condition is stabilized. Rehabilitation training is a gradual process that requires patients to persist for a long time in order to get the best recovery effect.
1. Load-loss exercise: common exercises such as cycling and swimming can enhance the muscle strength of patients and promote the blood circulation of the lower limbs, which can promote the recovery of femoral head necrosis to a certain extent.
2. Lying exercise: patients lie down, elevate the affected limbs, bend the hip and knee joints as much as possible without causing pain, and then level the affected limbs.
3. Sitting position separation method: the patient sits on a chair, hands on the knees, feet apart, shoulder-width apart, knee joints maximize outward and inward movement.
4. Standing Leg Lifting Method: the patient holds the fixed object, keeps the body upright, raises the affected limb, bends the hip and knee joints by 90 degrees, makes the body and the thighs at a right angle, and then puts down the affected limb.
5. Internal rotation and adduction method: hold the fixation with your hand and make circle movement with your lower limbs.
It is recommended that patients consult a doctor in a timely manner to develop the best individualized treatment plan according to the specific situation, do not blindly exercise on your own to avoid the adverse consequences.
