CLINICAL DIAGNOSIS AND TRAINING OPTIMIZATION ON KNEE SPORTS INJURIES

DIAGNÓSTICO CLÍNICO E OTIMIZAÇÃO NO TREINAMENTO PARA LESÕES ESPORTIVAS NO JOELHO

DIAGNÓSTICO CLÍNICO Y OPTIMIZACIÓN DEL ENTRENAMIENTO DE LAS LESIONES DEPORTIVAS DE LA RODILLA

ABSTRACT

Introduction:

The knee joint is one of the sites of greatest mechanical stress in the lower limbs. The overload generated by impacts, blows from falls, and torsions in collisions can generate disabling tissue damage that is difficult to recover from. Although lacking clinical diagnosis, some studies have pointed out that implementing functional training in rehabilitation can reduce the period of disability and the harmful effects of immobilization.

Objective:

Study the clinical diagnosis and the optimization of training for knee sports injuries.

Methods:

This experiment uses the intra-group comparison method. The method used in the experiment is a rehabilitation training protocol for the knee joint, focusing on quadriceps muscle strength and balance. The training cycle is six times per week for one month.

Results:

The optimization in exercise training evidenced a good improvement in functional ability and pain condition, reflected in the athletes’ balance ability. After training optimization, 9 out of 12 athletes recovered completely, and three improved significantly.

Conclusion:

Trainers should follow the physical rehabilitation orders and match them with the athletes’ actual situation, sport types, etc., designing the appropriate sports mode for the athletes to promote training optimization and reduce sports joint injuries.
