A Study on the Rehabilitation of Patients with Osteoarthritis of the Knee

Abstract

Rehabilitation refers to the integrated and coordinated use of various means, such as medical, educational, social and occupational, to restore the patient's physical and psychological injuries caused by accidents or sports injuries as far as possible and to the maximum extent possible, so that his or her physical, psychological and social adaptation can be maximally rehabilitated. Osteoarthritis of the knee is one of the osteoarthritic diseases, which is characterised by chronic, long-term pain in the affected area and degenerative changes in the function of the affected limb, and also has the potential to cause disability after the disease. As the population density continues to rise, the number of people suffering from osteoarthritis of the knee is also increasing year by year, which has brought about a considerable impact on the global healthcare services. Therefore, it is important to adopt healthy and effective rehabilitation techniques for the treatment of patients with osteoarthritis of the knee caused by post-exercise injuries.
