BACKGROUND:: There are many studies about rehabilitation after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), but these studies are mostly limited to study only a rehabilitation method. OBJECTIVE:: To investigate the influence of comprehensive rehabilitation after TKA. METHODS:: Fifty patients who underwent unilateral TKA were randomly divided into two groups: the study group received rehabilitation guidance before operation, and rehabilitation exercise by therapists, CPM exercise, ice application after operation; the control group received CPM exercise only. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:: From the 2 day to the 6 day after operation, the score of visual analog scale in the study group was lower than that of the control group (P < 0.05). The range of motion of the knee was higher in the study group at 2 days to 6 weeks after operation (P < 0.05). HSS scores were higher in the study group than the control group at 2 and 6 weeks after operation (P < 0.05). There was no difference in local complications between two groups. Application of comprehensive rehabilitation for TKA can speed up the rehabilitation process, relieve pain, improve the range of motion of the knee, and side effect is not rising.Gao ZY, Wu JX, Lin WL, Tuo M, Zhu QX, Wei L, Wang L, Li TS.
