Abstract

BackgroundDegenerative meniscal tears are common, causing knee pain, functional limitations, and reduced quality of life. Effective treatment is essential to restore daily functionality. This study evaluated the impact of a neuromuscular exercise program on individuals with degenerative meniscal tears.Materials and MethodsFifty patients (ages 20-65) with degenerative meniscal tears were randomly divided into two groups. Group 1 participated in a physiotherapist-guided neuromuscular exercise program, while Group 2 performed a home exercise program. Both groups underwent treatment three times a week for six weeks. Effectiveness was assessed using the Tegner Activity Level Scale, Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score - Physical Function Short Form (KOOS-PS), Western Ontario Meniscal Evaluation Tool (WOMET), pain assessment, and jump performance before and after treatment.ResultsBoth groups showed significant improvements. However, Group 1 improved WOMET General Calculation, Night Pain, and KOOS-PS Symptoms (p < 0.001). Neuromuscular exercises with physiotherapist support yielded superior outcomes compared to the home program. Significant changes were observed in parameters such as "Pain Activity" and "Pain Rest" (p < 0.001) in both groups, with notable improvements in Group 1. WOMET tests also showed significant gains for Group 1 (p < 0.001) and Group 2 (p < 0.001).ConclusionPhysiotherapist-supervised neuromuscular exercise programs significantly improved pain, knee function, and quality of life in individuals with degenerative meniscal tears. The findings underscore the added value of professional supervision in maximizing clinical outcomes.

在物理治疗师指导下对退行性半月板撕裂患者进行神经肌肉锻炼的效果。
背景退行性半月板撕裂是常见的,引起膝关节疼痛、功能限制和生活质量下降。有效的治疗对于恢复日常功能至关重要。本研究评估了神经肌肉锻炼计划对退行性半月板撕裂患者的影响。材料与方法50例年龄20 ~ 65岁的退行性半月板撕裂患者随机分为两组。第一组参加了物理治疗师指导的神经肌肉锻炼计划,而第二组则进行了家庭锻炼计划。两组患者每周接受三次治疗,持续六周。使用Tegner活动水平量表、膝关节损伤和骨关节炎结局评分-身体功能简表(KOOS-PS)、西安大略省半月板评估工具(WOMET)、疼痛评估和治疗前后的跳跃表现来评估有效性。结果两组均有明显改善。然而,第1组改善了WOMET一般计算、夜间疼痛和KOOS-PS症状(p

期刊介绍: The Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation is a journal whose main focus is to present relevant information about the interdisciplinary approach to musculoskeletal rehabilitation for clinicians who treat patients with back and musculoskeletal pain complaints. It will provide readers with both 1) a general fund of knowledge on the assessment and management of specific problems and 2) new information considered to be state-of-the-art in the field. The intended audience is multidisciplinary as well as multi-specialty. In each issue clinicians can find information which they can use in their patient setting the very next day.
