Study Of Knee Stability With Unilateral Knee Osteoarthritis

ObjectiveTo quantify the assessment of knee ACL, PCL laxity evaluating knee stability of patients with unilateral knee osteoarthritis, in order to provide a basis for the clinical development of rehabilitation programs.MethodsUseing knee joint stability tester (KNEELAX3)to measure ACL, PCL laxity of 50 patients with unilateral knee osteoarthritis patients and 50 non-ill persons, statistical analysis of data.ResultsIpsilateral ACL laxity of KOA patients mean 8.25±2.16mm, contralateral to 6.00±1.80mm, the control group ACL mean 5.30±1.85mm, PCL mean 3.45±1.25mm. Case group and the health risk of knee ACL knee and ACL control group have more significant difference, P<0.05, with statistical significance. KOA in patients with ipsilateral mean PCL compared with the control group was statistically significant PCL mean, P<0.05.ConclusionKNEELAX measurements can be used for quantitative evaluation knee stability of KOA,Stability of Ipsilateral knee is worse than the health in KOA patients Therefore, rehabilitation should not only attach importance to the pain reduction and improvement in activity, but also should pay attention to enhance the stability of the knee.
