| Abstract. | The current processes of automation and robotization have indisputably left their mark on the methods of facilitating any human activities, including the recovery of the knee joint after post-traumatic sequelae. We support, however, the usefulness of a physical therapy program that takes into account the anatomical-functional individuality of each patient, their socio-professional status, as well as their age and their level of tolerance to physical effort during physical therapy sessions.
Regarding post-traumatic knee recovery and early reintegration of patients into everyday-life, a 4-week study was conducted on a sample of 20 subjects, of which 11 female patients and 9 male patients, aged between 21 and 69 years old. This study sought to achieve effects such as: pain relief, increased range of motion, increased muscle strength and, last but not least, reaching a comfortable level of quality of life through the effective selection of kineto-therapeutic techniques, as well as, massotherapy and electrotherapy. As a result of this study, it was demonstrated that using the methods mentioned above we met the proposed objectives, with patients obtaining considerable improvements for the measured parameters. |
