Knee adhesion is one of the common complications after knee and distal femur fracture, after knee ligament and meniscus injuries, and after knee arthroscopy, which is caused by not exercising in time after surgery, or exercising in an improper way. The patient has adhesion of ligaments and tendons around the joint, resulting in the knee being unable to flex and extend on its own, and feeling obvious obstacles when flexing and extending.
The method of loosening the adhesion of the knee is mainly based on joint mobility training, and passive and active mobility training is carried out under the principle of painlessness.
On the 2nd to 4th postoperative day, continuous passive mobility exercises were performed to achieve an initial range of motion of 0° to 45°, twice a day for 1 hour each time.
In the 2nd postoperative week, knee flexion and extension were gradually increased to 0°~90°, aiming to achieve a knee flexion range of 90° within 2 weeks after surgery.
Sitting on the edge of the bed exercise, the patient sits on the edge of the bed, the lower leg naturally hanging down, both hands press the upper part of the knee joint, and then the patient forcefully flex the knee joint after the lower leg and then return to the original position, can also play a role in improving the adhesion.
It is recommended that patients under the guidance of a doctor to carry out rehabilitation training, so as not to cause secondary injury, so as not to miss the condition.
