IMPACT OF REHABILITATION TRAINING COMBINED WITH VISUAL FEEDBACK BALANCE TRAINING ON MOTOR FUNCTION IN PATIENTS WITH SPORTS-RELATED KNEE INJURIES: A BIOMECHANICAL APPROACH

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of rehabilitation training combined with visual feedback balance training on motor functions in patients with knee injuries. Methods: A total of 80 patients with sports-related knee injuries from the outpatient and inpatient departments of Lishui City People's Hospital were randomly divided into control and observation groups, with 40 patients in each group. The control group underwent rehabilitation training based on biomechanical principles, and the observation group underwent additional visual feedback balance training. Trunk control ability, limb motor function, and walking stability were compared between the two groups before, 1 month after, and 3 months after training. Results: After 1 month of training, the lower-limb function scores, trunk control ability scores in activities such as turning to the healthy side and the affected side on the bed, sitting and standing balance, and scores for Dynamic Gait Index and Berg balance scale were all higher in the observation group compared with the control group (P<0.05). After 3 months of training, the differences in scores between the two groups became more pronounced (P<0.05). Conclusions: Rehabilitation training based on biomechanical principles combined with visual feedback balance training effectively improved the limb motor function, enhanced the trunk control ability, and maintained the body balance and walking stability in patients with sports-related knee injuries. This study provided a more effective novel rehabilitation approach for the postoperative recovery of patients with knee injuries.
