Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In this study, we aimed to determine and compare the benefits of water-based exercise (WBE) and land-based exercise (LBE) on pain, functionality, and quality of life after arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM). Middle-aged (35-50), active 30 patients having APM for a degenerative meniscal tear randomized into LBE (n=15) and WBE (n=15) groups. The pain level (visual analogue scale \[VAS\]), isokinetic muscle strength, quality of life (Short Form-36 \[SF-36\]), and function level (single-leg hop test and Lysholm questionnaire) were evaluated prior to treatment and at follow-up visits at the fourth and eighth week after surgery. The exercise sessions were conducted 3 times a week for 4 weeks in both groups.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: The inclusion criteria comprised a non-locked painful knee of more than 1 month, age between 35-50 years, a clinical history and examination compatible with degenerative meniscus, positive findings of a degenerative meniscal tear visible with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), no response to nonoperative treatment of at least 3 months after onset of symptoms, and no evidence of advanced osteoarthritis (OA) on X-rays or MRI

Exclusion Criteria: The exclusion criteria employed were advanced knee OA, systemic inflammatory disease, a concurrent tear of posterior cruciate ligament, a concurrent collateral ligament repair, other problems causing knee pain (e.g., hip and ankle pathologies), a history of cardiopulmonary disease that could limit isokinetic and functional testing, an unstable medical condition, a serious cognitive deficit, a psychiatric problem, no capacity for independent walking and standing, an open wound on the skin, or pregnancy
