Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

AIM: To investigate the impact of functional exercise training on postoperative functional recovery in patients with knee meniscus injuries.

METHODS:A prospective randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted from April 2023 to September 2024, involving 96 patients with knee meniscus injuries who underwent meniscus repair interventions. Participants were randomly assigned to either the Control (CON) group (n=48) or the functional exercise training (FET) group (n=48) using a computer-generated random number table. The CON group received standard rehabilitation, while the FET group underwent functional exercise training. Clinical outcomes were evaluated at baseline, 1 month, and 6 months post-intervention, including the Lysholm score, IKDC score, VAS pain score, range of motion (ROM), serum levels of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and serotonin (5-HT), as well as passive 60° position sense and 60° motion sense. Postoperative complications occurring within 1 month were also recorded.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Control (CON) group

Both groups were given arthroscopy and meniscoplasty. After operation, the control group received active knee flexion and extension exercise, ankle pump training, quadriceps muscle training and other routine rehabilitation training.

Group Type OTHER

Control (CON) group

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Both groups were given arthroscopy and meniscoplasty. After operation, the control group received active knee flexion and extension exercise, ankle pump training, quadriceps muscle training and other routine rehabilitation training.

Functional exercise training (FET) group

Patients in the observation group were supplemented with neuromuscular training on the basis of routine rehabilitation training, and received rehabilitation education before training. The patients were informed of the specific content, frequency, expected effect and importance of training in various forms such as on-site demonstration combined with publicity brochures and playing videos, so as to improve patient cooperation.
