Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the effects of different exercise therapies on postoperative joint function in patients after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), so as to provide evidence-based evidence for clinical medical staff to choose the best exercise therapy.Methods:China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, VIP, Chinese Biomedical Literature Service System, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Library were searched for randomized controlled trials of different exercise therapies in patients after TKA from inception to April 1, 2024. Stata 17.0 software was used for network Meta-analysis.Results:A total of 38 articles were included, with 2 921 patients after TKA, exercise therapies involved passive exercise, suspension exercise, Otago exercise, cycling exercise, resistance training, proprioceptive training, virtual reality training, muscle strength training, balance training and motor imagery training. The results of network Meta-analysis showed that in terms of improvement in Hospital for Special Surgery Knee Score (HSS), the top 3 ranking results of surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) were cycling (96.0%)>resistance training (84.2%)>proprioceptive training (64.2%). In terms of improvement in Western Ontario McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), the top 3 SUCRA ranking results were resistance training (99.5%)>motor visualization training (72.3%)>balance training (61.6%). In terms of improvement in pain score, the top 3 SUCRA ranking results were resistance training (70.9%)>motor imagination training (68.1%)>virtual reality training (64.3%). In terms of improvement in Berg Balance Scale, the top 3 SUCRA ranking results were balance training (89.8%)>virtual reality training (83.5%)>proprioceptive training (55.9%). In terms of improvement of knee flexion range of motion, the top 3 SUCRA ranking results were suspension exercise (82.2%)>proprioceptive training (68.4%)>Otago exercise (63.9%).Conclusions:Cycling exercise is the best exercise therapy to improve HSS, resistance training is the best exercise therapy to reduce WOMAC and relieve pain, balance training is the best exercise therapy to improve balance function, suspension exercise is the best exercise therapy to increase knee flexion range of motion, the above 4 exercise therapy have advantages in improving knee function of patients after TKA.
