(1) Background: Knee osteoarthritis causes pain, weakness, muscle atrophy, and disability. The application of whole-body vibration in patients with knee osteoarthritis can improve strength, balance, and functional activities. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effects of early whole-body vibration intervention in patients after total knee arthroplasty. (2) Method: A single-blinded randomized control trial. Fifty-two patients with knee osteoarthritis post total knee replacement from a medical center in southern Taiwan were randomly assigned to either a whole-body vibration group or control group. Main outcome measures included pain severity, leg circumference, knee range of motion, knee extensor strength, a five-times sit to stand test, and a timed up and go test. (3) Results: Immediately post treatment, the patients in the vibration group showed a significant increase in knee extensor strength and improvement in calf swelling compared to the control group. A trend toward decrease in pain severity and improvement in functional performance were observed in both groups without a significant difference between the groups. There was no significant difference in knee range of motion (ROM) and functional performance between the groups. (4) Conclusions: The whole-body vibration intervention in patients early post total knee arthroplasty showed significant immediate effect in increasing knee extensor strength and decreasing calf swelling.
(1) 背景:膝关节骨关节炎会导致疼痛、无力、肌肉萎缩和残疾。全身振动应用于膝关节骨关节炎患者可改善力量、平衡和功能活动。本研究的目的是评估早期全身振动干预对全膝关节置换术后患者的影响。(2) 方法:一项单盲随机对照试验。来自台湾南部一家医疗中心的52例全膝关节置换术后的膝关节骨关节炎患者被随机分为全身振动组或对照组。主要结局指标包括疼痛严重程度、腿围、膝关节活动范围、膝关节伸肌力量、五次坐立试验和计时起立行走试验。(3) 结果:治疗后即刻,与对照组相比,振动组患者的膝关节伸肌力量显著增加,小腿肿胀情况有所改善。两组均观察到疼痛严重程度有下降趋势,功能表现有所改善,但两组间无显著差异。两组间膝关节活动范围(ROM)和功能表现无显著差异。(4) 结论:全膝关节置换术后早期对患者进行全身振动干预在增加膝关节伸肌力量和减轻小腿肿胀方面显示出显著的即刻效果。
