ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the preventative effects of rehabilitation training(RT)on deep venous thrombosis(DVT)after arthroplasty.Methods Fifty-six patients with articulatio coxae or knee arthroplasty were randomly divided into a control group and an experiment group(E group).RT,including active movement of the foot and ankle,isometric contraction of the quadriceps fexoris and deep breathing training,was administered to the E group after arthroplasty.Negative cheirapsis was applied in the control group.Peak and average blood flow velocities (PABFVs)in the femoral vein,as well as DVT,were detected and measured using color ultrasound Doppler imaging before and 7 d after arthroplasty.Results PABFVs in the E group were higher than those in the control group (P
