Efficiency of gravitational therapy in complex rehabilitation of patients after arthroscopic knee operations

An analysis of the effectiveness of the complex of medical rehabilitation of patients with minimally invasive knee operations in the early and late postoperative periods, which provides for the use of gravity therapy with dosed muscle work of the lower extremities. To assess the effectiveness of the rehabilitation complex, patients of the studied groups were subjected to knee joint goniometry, rheovasography and electrothermometry of the lower extremities, as well as evaluation by the visual-analog pain scale and the total algofunctional Leken index.

The result of the study shows that earlier inclusion of the gravitational factor in combination with dosed physical activity in the rehabilitation complex increases its effectiveness and can significantly reduce negative manifestations due to pathogenetic action in patients who have undergone arthroscopic knee surgery.
