Abstract

Due to the biomechanical features of their motor activity, athletes of game sports are prone to knee joint injuries, among which the injuries of the anterior cruciate ligament, menisci and combined injuries of the knee joint prevail. After arthroscopy, in addition to a long recovery period, athletes experience a decrease in general and special working capacity, the level of physical qualities, and the risk of re-injury, which requires the rational use of physical therapy measures, taking into account the identified functional disorders. The purpose of the research is to test the effectiveness of the FMS (functional movement system) methodology in physical therapy of athletes after knee arthroscopy. Research methods: analysis of scientific and methodical literature, sociological methods, medical and biological methods, methods of mathematical statistics. Results. Physical therapy involved 26 athletes 4 weeks after knee arthroscopy, including 11 tennis players and 15 squash players. The course of physical therapy lasted 6 weeks. In order to identify the main functional disorders that occurred in the athletes, an examination was conducted, one of the components of which was the FMS technique. Testing and subsequent therapeutic exercises according to the FMS protocols showed us the weaknesses that were important to work on to increase the speed and quality of recovery of the injured knee joint. The results of the study of motor function indicators allowed us to confirm the effectiveness of using FMS in the process of physical therapy of the selected contingent of patients. In particular, the level of pain decreased to 0.8 ± 0.1 points, the average score on the Tegner-Lysholm scale was 89.5 ± 5.1, which is a good result, the results of repeated goniometry showed the restoration of almost the full range of motion of the knee joint. Prospects for further research involve testing the effectiveness of using the FMS technique in predicting injuries in athletes of various game sports.
