Abstract: Objective:To comparatively study the simple Tuna and progressive function exercise for the knee osteoarthritis patients after arthroscopic debridement.Methods:From January 2009 to October 2014,114 cases of knee osteoarthritis patients were randomly divided in two groups:pure progressive functional exercise control group(57cases)and simple Tuna manipulation plus progressive function exercise group(57cases).All patients underwent arthroscopic debridement and meniscal-pkasty-suture.No braces were used for two groups.Patients in the control group did progressive functional exercise.The manipulation group was treated with the progressive functional exercise and knee manipulation at the same time.All patients were discharged three days after surgery.All patients got VAS score test,knee function test and WOMAC scores test at 1day,3days,7days,14 days and 2months after surgery.Results:In the two groups,the pain was relieved obviously after 3days of treatment,the swelling was obviously relieved,and the rest pain improved,the knee function and the early ambulation steady state were significantly improved.14 days after surgery,the swelling and pain of the two groups were consistent,but the treatment group was better than the control group in walking status,up and down the stairs walk scores and difficult scores.Conclusion:Combined with manipulation,it is obviously superior to the simple functional exercise for the recovery of swelling and recovery of limb swelling in patients with knee arthroscopy.It is simple and worth to be popularized in patients with knee arthroscopy.
