Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Artificial biomaterials are used instead of the existing joints with obvious lesion, which is defined as artificial joint replacement, for the purpose of easing pain, correcting deformities, restoring and improving the joint function. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of joint prosthesis materials and physical therapy after joint replacement. METHODS:Wanfang, CNKI and PubMed databases were retrieved for articles related to joint prosthesis materials and physical therapy after joint replacement published from 2000 to 2014 using the keywords of “artificial joints, joint materials, physical therapy” in Chinese and English, respectively. Papers published recently or in authoritative journals were preferred in the same field. Based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, 15 papers were included in result analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Artificial joint prosthesis materials have their own rehabilitation programs. Physical therapy after joint replacement includes physical factor therapy and exercise therapy. Physical factor therapy can reduce the release of inflammatory factors and promote the absorption of inflammatory factors factor, effectively relive pain, and facilitate the drug release from bone cement containing antibiotic drugs under low-frequency ultrasound intervention. Exercise rehabilitation therapy assisted by continuous passive motion machine can promote lymphatic return, reduce limb sweling, avoid the occurrence of venous thromboembolism, prevent and treat joint contractures, strengthen the muscle and promote recovery of joint function after joint replacement. Appropriate joint prosthesis and reasonable physical therapy after joint replacement can accelerate patient’s rehabilitation, reduce complications and achieve a good joint range of motion.
