Summary

Water-Based vs. Land-Based Rehabilitation After Arthroscopic Partial Meniscectomy in Middle-Aged Active Patients with a Degenerative Meniscal Tear: A Randomized, Controlled Study

Detailed description

In this study, we aimed to determine and compare the benefits of water-based exercise (WBE) and land-based exercise (LBE) on pain, functionality, and quality of life after arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM). Middle-aged (35-50), active 30 patients having APM for a degenerative meniscal tear randomized into LBE (n=15) and WBE (n=15) groups. The pain level (visual analogue scale \[VAS\]), isokinetic muscle strength, quality of life (Short Form-36 \[SF-36\]), and function level (single-leg hop test and Lysholm questionnaire) were evaluated prior to treatment and at follow-up visits at the fourth and eighth week after surgery. The exercise sessions were conducted 3 times a week for 4 weeks in both groups.
