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，运动员在该项运动固有的跑跳过程中膝关节会承受强烈冲击，膝关节损伤往往难以避免。研究目的：探究篮球运动员膝关节损伤的康复方案。研究方法：本文对6名运动员进行访谈，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，间隔1天，总训练周期为9周。实验前后分别测定运动员的膝关节活动度与疼痛评分，并对数据进行对比分析。研究结果：经过9周训练后，采用视觉模拟评分法（Visual Analog Scale）测得的疼痛评分为2~4分，对应轻度疼痛等级，未对日常生活活动造成明显影响。研究结论：本研究提出的下肢离心训练方案，可助力运动员膝关节功能状态恢复，改善关节活动度并缓解疼痛，是一种可纳入康复体系的有效训练方法。证据等级：II级；治疗性研究——治疗结局探究。
