Rehabilitation Post-meniscectomy Clinical Trial
Official title:
Assessment of Different Treatments of Muscle Strengthening in Post-meniscectomy Knee.
To determine that rehabilitation treatment for a partial meniscectomy is more efficient in
the functional recovery of the knee. Set in the fewest possible sessions, what treatment has
benefits that last beyond the physical and what is the best cost-effectiveness.
It is expected that the combination of isotonic and isokinetic exercises in
post-meniscectomy physiotherapy allows faster and less costly patient rehabilitate than the
current isotonic protocol.
Longitudinal randomized single-blind study, 81 patients (27 per group; 3 groups), 18 to 60
years, underwent surgery meniscus and performing rehabilitation at the University Hospital
Sant Joan de Reus. The first rehabilitation sessions will be common (manual therapy,
electrotherapy, proprioceptive reeducation, isometric exercises, bike exercise and
cryotherapy). From Session 10, will be randomized into 3 groups: group 1 protocol added
isotonic exercises, group 2 isokinetic exercises and group 3 isotonic and isokinetic
exercises.
The principal variable will be the maximum force peak of the muscle. An evaluation of other
parameters such as knee function (Lysholm Test) and the degree of pain (VAS) will be
performed.
