Clinical Effect of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation on Functional Re-covery after Knee Replacement in Elderly Patients
Objective To analyze the effect of neuromuscular electrical stimulation on the recovery of limb motor func-tion in elderly patients after knee arthroplasty.Methods A total of 80 elderly patients who underwent artificial knee arthroplasty in Jiaozhou Central Hospital of Qingdao from May to December 2022 were selected as the study objects,and the odd-even grouping method was adopted to divided them into two groups.40 patients in the conventional group received routine rehabilitation training after surgery,and 40 patients in the observation group received neuromuscular electrical stimulation after surgery.Postoperative recovery,pain scores and postoperative adverse events were com-pared between the two groups.Results The autonomous activity time,hospital stay and weight-bearing recovery time of the affected limb in the observation group were shorter than those in the conventional group,and the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05).The postoperative pain in the observation group was significantly improved compared with the conventional group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The incidence of ad-verse events in the observation group was 2.50%,lower than that in the conventional group(15.00%),and the differ-ence was statistically significant(χ2=3.914,P<0.05).Conclusion Neuromuscular electrical stimulation therapy for el-derly patients undergoing artificial knee arthroplasty can promote their functional recovery after surgery and ensure their surgical safety.
