Abstract
Objective To study the effect of continuous passive motion(CPM) training on knee joint function in patients with tibial plateau fracture after operation.Methods Eighty-five patients with tibial plateau fracture after operation were divided into two groups.The CPM group(n=47) was treated with CPM and active training,the non-CPM group received active training only.After 2,4,6,and 12 weeks,knee range of motion was compared between the two groups.After 3 and 12 months,knee joint function was compared.Results The degree of knee flexion of CPM group were significantly better than non-CPM group 2,4 and 6 weeks after operation,(P0.05),which showed no statistically significant difference between the two groups 12 weeks after operation(P0.05).Three months after operation,the function recovery of CPM group were significantly better than non-CPM group(P0.05),but 12 months after operation,there were no significant difference between the two groups(P0.05).Conclusion Early stage active training can recover the function of knee.CPM training can shorten the recovery time and improve the life quality of the patients.
