Initiating Rehabilitation with Open versus Closed Kinetic Chain Exercises in Patients with Degenerative Meniscal Tears
Key Points
The research aims to compare the effects of open and closed kinetic chain exercises on early rehabilitation outcomes for degenerative meniscal tears.
Implemented two exercise programs: open kinetic chain (OKC) and closed kinetic chain (CKC).
Evaluated early rehabilitation outcomes over the first two weeks post-injury.
Assessed patient symptom management and quality of life indicators.
OKC exercises provided better early symptom management than CKC.
Participants reported improved quality of life when starting with OKC exercises.
Therapeutic advantages were noted in pain reduction and functional outcomes.
Abstract
Initiating rehabilitation with OKC exercises for the first two weeks might offer therapeutic advantages by enhancing early symptom management and quality of life in DMT.
