APPLICATION OF INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES IN KINESITHERAPY IN RECOVERY OF TRAUMATIC INJURIES OF THE KNEE JOINT
Keywords:
innovative technologies, kinesitherapy, knee joint, traumatic injuriesAbstract
Kinesitherapy occupies an important place in the treatment of injuries in the area of the knee joint, the
main task of which is to restore normal arthrokinematics and the supporting function of the limb. Despite the
continuous updating of kinesitherapy programs, there is still no widespread application of innovative methods and
technologies for the recovery of patients.
The aim of the current literature review is to present and analyze innovative methods and technologies applied in
kinesitherapy to accelerate the recovery process in injuries to the knee joint.
The research methodology includes a systematic literature review (in the period 2010-2022) and extensive analysis
of published scientific articles in specialized databases, electronic medical publications, scientific journals. A
literature review was performed in the following databases: Web of science, Pub Med, Research Gate, Embase,
Scopus, PEDro, Google Scholar. In the studied scientific literature, 1310 studies were found, referring to the
application of kinesitherapeutic innovative methods for the recovery of injuries in the area of the knee joint. A
Google Scholar search found 17,600 results regarding the use of kinesitherapy in knee arthroplasty.
Conclusions: The application of innovative technologies is not enough, which confirms the need to include them in
kinesitherapy programs, improving the patient's quality of life and stimulating recovery processes
