It is possible to normalize muscle atrophy in meniscus injury.
After meniscus injury, due to the limitation of knee joint activities for a long time or too much rest during the treatment period, the failure to carry out timely lower limb functional exercise will lead to muscle wasting muscle atrophy. However, this kind of muscle atrophy is reversible, as long as the appropriate treatment measures can be taken in time to return to normal.
Common treatment measures include rehabilitation training and nutritional intake.
1. Rehabilitation training: mainly through progressive resistance muscle strength training to make muscle fibers thickening, thus producing muscle hypertrophy effect and improving muscle atrophy.
2. Nutritional intake: through increasing protein intake such as shrimp, beef, fish and other high-quality animal protein, etc., to promote muscle hypertrophy effect, thereby improving muscle atrophy.
Muscle atrophy after meniscus injury should be timely medical treatment, under the guidance of a professional doctor for scientific treatment, to avoid missing the opportunity to cause serious adverse consequences.
