| Summary: | Objective: To explore the effect of exercise therapy in preventing the lower extremity deep
venous thrombosis (DVT) after total knee arthoplasty (TKA). Methods: A total of 153 patients
with osteoarthritis who were admitted in our hospital for TKA were included in the study and
randomized into the observation group and the control group. The patients in the observation
group were given continuous passive motion (CPM) in combined with exercise therapy, while
the patients in the control group were only given CPM. After 2-week treatment, the related
coagulation indicators and femoral venous blood flow in the two groups were detected and
compared. The occurrence rate of DVT in the two groups was calculated. Results: PT and
APTT from 2 weeks to 2 months after operation in the two groups were shortened first and
extended later when compared with before operation, while FIB and D-D contents were
elevated first and reduced later, and the coagulation indicator levels 2 months after treatment
in the two groups were significantly different from those before operation. The femoral
venous blood flow peak and average velocity 1 week after operation in the two groups were
significantly elevated when compared with before operation. The femoral venous blood flow
peak and average velocity 1 week after operation in the observation group were significantly
higher than those in the control group. The occurrence rate of DVT in the observation group
was significantly lower than that in the control group. Conclusions: CPM in combined with
exercise therapy for patients after TKA can effectively prevent the formation of DVT, with a
significant effect. |
