Rehabilitation exercises after knee surgery mainly include periarticular strength training and joint mobility exercises, which can help prevent joint adhesion and muscle atrophy caused by prolonged braking and prevent thrombosis of the lower limbs.
1. Periarticular strength training: the quadriceps muscle in front of the thigh is the main training target, and other muscles around the knee joint also need to be trained accordingly. For example, early postoperative local muscle static contraction, ankle pump movement, straight leg raising; later resistance training such as cycling, swimming, etc..
2. Joint mobility exercises: mainly knee flexion and extension training. It can be trained through active and passive exercises to improve joint mobility and promote functional recovery.
It is recommended that patients carry out rehabilitation training under the guidance of doctors to prevent injuries caused by blind self-exercise.
