Abstract:

Objective To evaluate the effect of qualified arc angle isokinetic training on the function of Knee osteoarthritis.  Methods 78 participants with right knee osteoarthritis were divided randomly into group A, group B, and group C. There were 26 cases in each group. Aside from regular exercise therapy, patients in all groups also accepted isokinetic training. Patients in group A accepted isokinetic exercise knee of extension training with 90 ° to 10 °; Patients in group B accepted knee extension isokinetic exercise training with 60 ° to 10 °; patients in group C accepted knee extension isokinetic exercise training with 30 ° to 10 °.  All groups were trained 3 times per week, and the training lasted for 8 weeks in total. American hospital for special surgery index(HSS), maximum peak torque (PT), visual analogue scale method (VAS), and joint motion detection threshold (JMDT) were assessed before and after the treatments in 3 groups.    Results    There was significant difference in the PT, HSS, and VAS compared to the prior treatment (P<0.05), Group A improved significantly than Group B and Group C. JMDT turned better than before but there was no significant difference (P>0.05). Conclusion Different qualified arc angle isokinetic training can make an improvement on knee function. Larger arc angle isokinetic training can help knee function evidently.
