Comprehensive Rehabilitation Therapy Plus Glucosamine Hydrochloride for Exercise-Induced Knee Injuries and the Effect on Knee Function of Patients.

OBJECTIVE

To assess the application value of comprehensive rehabilitation therapy plus glucosamine hydrochloride for exercise-induced knee injuries and its effect on knee function.

METHODS

A total of 96 patients with an exercise-induced knee injury who were admitted to our hospital from February 2019 to February 202 were recruited and assigned at a ratio of 1 : 1 with matched general information to a control group ( = 45) or an experimental group ( = 51). Both groups of patients received comprehensive rehabilitation therapy, and the patients in the experimental group were daily given additional glucosamine hydrochloride tablets for 8 weeks.

RESULTS

The experimental group showed a higher treatment efficacy than the control group ( < 0.001). After the treatment, the VAS scores and C-reactive protein of the two groups showed a decline, with a lower result in the experimental group than in the control group ( < 0.001). The Lysholm knee scores were increased in the two groups after the treatment, and the experimental group had a higher score ( < 0.001). After the treatment, patients of both groups showed reduced five-times-sit-to-stand-test (FTSST) results, with a better outcome obtained in the experimental group ( < 0.001).

CONCLUSION

Comprehensive rehabilitation therapy plus glucosamine hydrochloride effectively improves the clinical efficacy of exercise-induced knee joint injuries and enhances the knee joint rehabilitation of the patients.
