Abstract:
Objective? To explore the application effect of self-help lower limb functional exercise shoes in elderly patients after total knee arthroplasty(TKA). Methods? A total of 58 patients with knee osteoarthritis who underwent TKA in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from September of 2017 to September 2018 were selected and randomly divided into the control group(n=28) and observation group(n=30). Routine functional exercise method was adopted in the control group while self-help lower limb functional exercise shoes were applied in the observation group. The time needed to master the functional exercise instruction, compliance with the functional exercise and knee joints activity post-operation in the two groups were compared. Results? The time needed to master the functional exercise instruction in the observation group was (4.3±1.5)min, shorter than the control group with statistical significance (t=4.87, P＜ 0.01). In the observation group there were 27 patients who had high compliance with the functional exercise, while 15 patients in the control group had high compliance, the difference was statistically significant (χ2=9.62,P＜0.05). Three months after operation, the knee joint activity of the observation group was better than that of the control group (115.3±11.3)°, the difference was statistically significant (t=2.45, P＜0.05). Conclusions? The use of self-help lower limb functional exercise can help the elderly TKA patients to master the functional exercise method faster, improve their compliance with postoperative functional exercise, improve postoperative rehabilitation exercise effects and promote early recovery of the affected limb functional.
