Physiotherapeutic methods for the damage of the soft tissues of the knee joint
JAKEŠOVÁ, Kateřina
Abstract I chose as the theme of my thesis the effectiveness of physiotherapy following knee injuries. The aim of this work was determine whether appropriate and timely preventive treatment can prevent acute knee injuries in chronically unstable knee. Specifially, is it possible to avoid reinjuring or causing trauma to chronically unstable knee during physiotherapy. Research was conducted using a qualitative method and case reports on two women who had problems with chronic knee instability. The first patient received therapy from 15.1. to 6.4. 2009, while the second patient received therapy from 24.1. to 14.4. 2009. Thus both patiant received approximately 3 mont of physiotherapy. In the course of rehabilitation, treatment focused on sensory motor stimulation therapy. This therapy took place at two different physiotherapy clinics, where I had the most effective monitoring instruments. Both patiant with chronic knee instability were of simile age and the therapy was conducted during approximately the same time period. The first patient, whose sports activities typically involve home exercise and training, is rapidly recovering from both her subjective and objekctive symptoms. Further gradual improvement in her condition can be reasonably assumed. For the second patient, the pain fluctuates depending upon the sport load placed upon the knee. The goal there was to eliminate the phenomenon of {\clq}qgiving way``. From an objective point of view, this problem was fully resolved. In connection with these findings the patints were properly advised of therapy, shown how they can continue the therapy by themselves in their homes, encouraged to regularly return to the clinic for follow- up exams, and advised to purchase {\clq}qunstable boards`` for their homes.
