Treatment Efficacy of Open Kinetic Chain Combined with Closed Kinetic Chain Exercise Training on Patients after Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction by GAO Peng, JIANG Xin, WANG Junzhe, WANG Hongyu, LIU Chengyao

“…The OKC group received OKC training, the CKC group received CKC training, the equal combination group received equal amount of OKC training and CKC training, and the adjusted combination group received OKC training and CKC training of different proportions. All four groups were trained for 12 weeks. Before and after intervention, Lysholm score and the international knee documentation committee (IKDC) score were used to evaluate the function of the affected knee, the KT-1000 score of the knee ligament and the differences of bilateral active range and passive range of motions; the ratio of jump distance between the affected side and the healthy side during one foot jump and cross foot jump were used to evaluate the lower limb motor function; Fugl-Meyer balance scale and Berg balance scale (BBS) were used to evaluate the balance function; isokinetic muscle strength testing system was used to analyze peak torque (PT), average power (AP), total power (TW) and atrophy index of quadriceps femoris on the affected side.Results(1) Knee motor function: compared with that before intervention, Lysholm and IKDC scores in four groups after intervention increased significantly, and KT-1000 score, bilateral active and passive joint motion differences decreased significantly (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05). …”
