Abstract:
Atrophy of thigh muscles always appears when a knee is injured, especially if the injured knee has to be immobilized for a long time. In general, both doctors and patients can find out about atrophy and inccrease fitness of muscles is very important to bring patients and athletes to their works, sport training or performance. At the Vietnam Sport Medicine Center, we are applying the Isokinetic method to help patients reduce rehab duration. Our research: “Recover the fitness of quadriceps on the Isokinetic systems to atrophy cases after knee injuries” show that thigh fitness can fully recover within 6 to 14 days provided that Isokinetic recovery program is applied.
