OBJECTIVE@#To explore application value and
effectiveness of
virtual reality technology combined with isokinetic
muscle strength training in the
rehabilitation of
patients after
anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction
surgery .@*
METHODS @#Forty
patients who underwent ACL reconstruction
surgery from December 2021 to January 2023 were selected and divided into
control group and
observation group according to
treatment methods , 20
patients in each group.
Control group was received routine
rehabilitation training combined with isokinetic
muscle strength training , including 15
males and 5
females ,
aged from 17 to 44 years old, with an average of (29.10±8.60) years old.
Observation group was performed
virtual reality technology combined with isokinetic
muscle strength training , including 16
males and 4
females ,
aged from 17 to 45 years old with an average of (30.95±9.11) years old. Lysholm
knee joint score,
knee extension peak
torque , and
knee flexion peak
torque between two groups at 12 (before
training ) and 16 weeks (after
training ) after
surgery were compared.@*RESULTS@#All
patients were followed up for 1 to 6 months with an average of (3.30±1.42) months. There were no statistically significant difference in Lysholm
knee joint score, peak
knee extension peak
torque , and peak
knee flexion peak
torque between two groups (P>0.05) before
training . After
training , Lysholm
knee joint score,
knee extension peak
torque , and
knee flexion peak
torque of both groups were improved compared to before
training (P<0.05);there were significant difference in Lysholm
knee joint score,
knee extension peak
torque , and
knee flexion peak
torque between two groups(P<0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#The application of
virtual reality technology combined with isokinetic
muscle strength training could promote recovery of
knee joint function and enhance
muscle strength in
patients after ACL reconstruction
surgery in further.
