Study on the Functional Rehabilitation of the Lower Limb in Professional Athletes having Undergone Meniscal Repair

Our research is justified by the following context of ascertained phenomena: the considerable increase in meniscus injuries caused by different types of sports activities; a conclusive casuistry of meniscal repair procedures; the need to promote modern technologies for testing, intervention and treatment. The premise with which we started was that operational strategy oriented toward functional rehabilitation from meniscus injuries should be restructured and re-harmonized. Thus, we designed a kinesic program based on a clear succession of rehabilitation stages, establishing, at the same time, an effective methodology of assessment and monitoring of knee's joint functionality, as well as a kinesic treatment personalized for each patient, depending on their response to the kinesic treatment.
