Сравнительный анализ использования баланс-платформ у пациентов после пластики передней крестообразной связки

Comparative Analysis of Balance Platform Use in Patients after Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

INTRODUCTION. Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are among the most common knee injuries. A long-term, properly tailored medical rehabilitation program is key to restoring normal knee function and preventing possible complications. A key component of medical rehabilitation programs for patients with diseases and injuries of the musculoskeletal system is neuromuscular and proprioceptive balance training. The use of special high-tech exercise machines with biological feedback allows for real-time assessment of the correctness of exercise performance and the condition of the musculoskeletal system. AIM. To study the effect of comprehensive rehabilitation with training on an unstable platform with biological feedback on the restoration of lower limb function in patients after PCS plastic surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS. The study involved 58 patients 1.5–2.5 months after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. They were divided into a main group (n = 29) and a control group (n = 29). In addition to a standard rehabilitation program, the main group underwent training on an unstable balance platform with biological feedback, while the control group trained on a stable platform with biological feedback. The course lasted 14 days. Testing before and after the rehabilitation course was carried out using a Con-Trex MJ, a ProKin balance platform, and using the Lysholm knee score questionnaire. RESULTS. The main group and the comparison group both showed improvements in lower limb strength, balance, and knee joint function, but the improvements were significantly greater in the main group. Adding training on an unstable platform with biofeedback to the rehabilitation program increases patient motivation and improves neuromuscular control in the lower limbs to a greater extent than training on a stable platform. CONCLUSION. Rehabilitation in patients after PCL reconstruction accelerates the recovery of the operated knee joint function and reduces the risk of re-injury and the osteoarthritis. © 2025, National Medical Research Center of Rehabilitation and Balneology of the Ministry.
