This paper defines the differences between open and closed kinetic chain exercise and explains the role of limb torque, muscle action, and proprioception during rehabilitation of the lower extremity. Closed kinetic chain rehabilitation is shown to decrease shear forces, increase proprioception, and increase muscle group coordination through examples of progressive exercises. The authors conclude that closed kinetic chain rehabilitation is an economical, efficient, and effective means of rehabilitation, with the ultimate goal of enhancing proprioception, thus gaining lower extremity joint stability.
本文定义了开链和闭链运动的区别，并解释了在下肢康复过程中肢体扭矩、肌肉活动和本体感觉的作用。通过渐进式练习的例子，闭链康复被证明可以减少剪切力、增加本体感觉并提高肌肉群协调性。作者得出结论，闭链康复是一种经济、高效和有效的康复手段，最终目的是增强本体感觉，从而获得下肢关节稳定性。
