Objectives.
1.Reduce pain
2.Strengthen the muscle strength around the joint
3.Maintain and increase the mobility of the knee joint
4.Improve daily living ability and gait training
Methods.
I. 1 – 2 weeks
1.In supine position, raise the straight leg 30 degrees, maintain for 10 seconds, relax and rest for 10 seconds. 10 times/group, 3 groups/day.
2.Sitting in bed, as shown in the figure, stretch the muscles behind the thigh, stretch until the knee is straight for 20 seconds, relax and rest for 10 seconds. 10 times/group, 2 groups/per hour.
3, sitting position, the largest free leg swing. Rest 30 seconds for 3 minutes, 2 times a day, 5 minutes each time.
4.Under the sitting position, use the elastic band for knee extension and leg kicking action, straighten and slowly lower, 20 times each time, 3 sets, twice a day.
5.Supine position, sliding wall exercise (passive knee flexion), flexion to maximum hold for 10 seconds, relax and rest for 10 seconds. The following figure shows.
6. Under the sitting position, exercise the medial femoral muscles with the ball in both legs. Stop for 5 seconds each time, each time 30 sets, a total of 3 sets, twice a day.
Second, 3 – 4 weeks (continue the above training)
7.Standing and walking pay attention to balance as well as left and right leg coordination. Avoid walking with too much weight early on.
8, O-shaped (X-shaped) leg stepping. 5 minutes each time, twice a day.
Third, 5 – 8 weeks (continue the above training)
9.Half squat straddle training (good leg in front, affected leg in the back), stop for 5 seconds each time, 20 strokes each time, 2 sets, twice a day.
10.Still squat against the wall (knees slightly bent at 30°), stop for 30 seconds each time, 20 strokes each time, 2 sets, twice a day.
After the training, give a cold compress for 15 minutes.
Caution: 1.
1. Follow up two weeks after training to check functional recovery.
2. Closely monitor the redness, swelling and heat pain. If redness, swelling and heat pain occur, please stop training and seek medical attention promptly.
3. Do not be overly fatigued during training.
4. Walk exercise gradually, gradually increase the walking distance.
