| Objective: To explore the clinical effects of proprioceptive training on shoulder joint recovery after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, and provide a new method for the patients with rotator cuff repairing. Method: Based on clinical diagnostic criteria, a total of 50 patients with rotator cuff injury treated by arthroscopic rotator cuff repair were randomly divided into two groups: observation group (25 cases) and control group (25 cases). Both groups received conventional rehabilitation exercise, and the observation group was given proprioceptive training additionly. Constant Murley score and Functional Independence Measure (FIM) were adopted to assess the shoulder joint function before rehabilitation training, 4 weeks and 8 weeks after training. Results: After 4 and 8 weeks of treatment, the CMS scores of both groups were on a gradual upward trend compared to pretreatment(P<0.05). After 4 weeks of rehabilitation training, there were no significant differences in pain, abduction and muscle strength between the two groups (P>0.05), and there were significant differences in daily range of activity, forward flexion, external rotation, internal rotation and CMS total scores (P<0.05). At 8th week of rehabilitation training, there were significant differences in pain, daily range of activity, forward flexion, obauction external rotation, internal rotation, muscle strength, CMS total scores and FIM scores (P< 0.05). Conclusion: Proprioceptive training can effectively improve the shoulder function after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, and it is a valid method for clinical promotion. |
