Effect of Isokinetic Muscle Strength Training Combined with Thoracic Spine Flexibility Training on Pain and Shoulder Joint Range of Motion in Patients with Rotator Cuff Injury after Surgery
Objective Exploring the effects of isokinetic muscle strength training combined with thoracic spine flexibility training on pain and shoulder joint range of motion in patients with rotator cuff injury after surgery.Methods A total of 78 patients with rotator cuff injury after surgery in The 80th Group Army Hospital of the Chinese People's Liberation Army from January 2021 to January 2024 were selected as the research objects,and were divided into a control group and an observation group according to random number table method,with 39 cases in each group.The control group received conventional rotator cuff muscle strength training,and the observation group received isokinetic muscle strength training combined with thoracic spine flexibility training on the basis of the control group.The pain degree,shoulder joint range of motion and shoulder joint function were compared between the two groups.Results After training,the visual analogue score of pain in the observation group was(1.72±0.41)points,which was lower than(2.19±0.63)points in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05);after training,the active ranges of shoulder joint flexion,extension,internal rotation and external rotation in the observation group were all greater than those in the control group,in the University of California at Los Angeles,the scores of shoulder joint flexion muscle strength,active flexion range of motion,functional activity and patient satisfaction in the observation group were all higher than those in the control group,and the differences between the groups were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Isokinetic muscle strength training combined with thoracic spine flexibility training can effectively reduce the pain degree of patients with rotator cuff injury after surgery,improve shoulder joint range of motion and improve shoulder joint function.
