REHABILITATION OF KNEE INJURIES IN BASKETBALL PLAYERS

ABSTRACT Introduction Basketball games are extremely combative, and the knee joint is severely impacted between runs and jumps inherent to the sport, and its injury is often inevitable. Objective Investigate the rehabilitation processes for knee joint injuries in basketball players. Methods In this paper, six athletes were questioned about the rehabilitation approach used for their injuries. In all, the centrifugal training system was used. The frequency of the exercises was three times a week, with one-day intervals. The overall training lasted nine weeks. Before and after the experiment, the athletes’ knee joint mobility and pain scores were measured, and the data were compared and analyzed. Results After nine weeks of training, the pain score by the visual analog scale was 2-4 points, corresponding to the score of mild pain without expressive impacts on activities of daily living. Conclusion The form of lower limb centrifugal training proposed in this study may help the recovery of functional status in the athletes’ knee joint, improve their joint mobility and reduce pain, presenting itself as an effective training method to be incorporated into rehabilitation. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.

摘要
引言：篮球运动极具对抗性，该项目固有跑动与跳跃动作会对膝关节造成严重冲击，膝关节损伤往往难以避免。
目的：探究篮球运动员膝关节损伤的康复方案。
方法：本文对6名运动员开展访谈，了解其损伤后所采用的康复手段。本研究全程采用离心训练系统，训练频率为每周3次，每次训练间隔1天，总训练时长为9周。实验前后分别测量运动员的膝关节活动度与疼痛评分，并对所得数据进行对比分析。
结果：经过9周训练后，采用视觉模拟评分法（Visual Analogue Scale）测得的疼痛评分为2~4分，对应轻度疼痛，未对日常生活活动造成明显影响。
结论：本研究提出的下肢离心训练方式，可助力运动员膝关节功能状态恢复，改善关节活动度并减轻疼痛，可作为一种有效的训练方法纳入康复体系。
证据等级：II级；治疗性研究——治疗结局探究。
