Sports injuries of the knee joint. Prevention and rehabilitation

Abstract

Knee joint injuries are the most common in lower limb injuries and pose the greatest challenge in terms of rehabilitation because of their highly variable specificity, usually related to sporting activities or domestic conditions of injury. The absence of adequate gradual rehabilitation, taking into account potential deviations in the functioning of the damaged joint, will not give a positive result. Thus, there is a need to develop an individual methodology and scheme for further training for each athlete, since too early and insufficient loads can lead to negative consequences in the form of synovitis and increasing pain in the joint. At the same time, insufficient loads greatly increase the rehabilitation time. The inclusion of the latest research in combination with current clinical data ensures the development and implementation of strategies for patient management, improvement of the quality of diagnosis and treatment, and rehabilitation of patients with sports injuries.
