Abstract:
ObjectiveTo observe the therapeutic effect of proprioception strengthening training on knee osteoarthritis.MethodsBased on clinical diagnostic criteria, 80 patients with knee osteoarthritis were randomly divided into a treatment group(41 cases) and a control group(39 cases). The patients in the treatment group were administered proprioception strengthening training, muscle strengthening exercise and treatment with sodium hyaluronate injection of knee joint, while the patients in the control group were administered muscle strengthening exercise and treatment with sodium hyaluronate injection of knee joint. Before and after the treatment, knee function were assessed with Lysholm Assessment Standard on knee function.ResultsThe patients in both groups scored significantly higher on Lysholm on knee function than the patients before the treatment (P<0.01). The patients in the treatment group are better than the patients in the control group(P<0.01).ConclusionProprioception strengthening training can improve the knee function and it is a valid method to treat knee osteoarthritis.
