| Objective Objective To explore the application effect of blood flow restriction training in postoperative patients with rotator cuff injury. Methods A total of 140 patients with rotator cuff injury undergoing shoulder arthroscopy admitted to the Liaocheng Second Hospital of Shandong First Medical University from June 2021 to June 2023 were selected as the study subjects. They were randomly divided into a control group and the observation group using a random number table method, with 70 patients in each group. The control group received routine postoperative care in orthopedic surgery, while the observation group received blood flow restriction training on the basis of the control group. UCLA shoulder joint function score, shoulder joint range of motion, VAS score, and SF-36 health status scale were used to compare the rehabilitation effects of the two groups after 4 to 8 weeks of intervention. Results The results of repeated measurement analysis of variance showed that the evaluation indicators of both groups of patients before intervention had improved. After the intervention, the UCLA shoulder joint function score, shoulder joint flexion, abduction, external and internal rotation range of motion, and quality of life score of the observation group was significantly increased compared to before the intervention (P<0.05), and the observation group was higher than the control group (P< 0.001); Both groups of patients had lower VAS scores than before intervention, and the observation group had lower VAS scores than the control group (P<0.001). Conclusions Blood flow restriction training has a significant improvement effect on shoulder joint function in patients with rotator cuff injury after surgery, significantly increasing joint mobility, reducing postoperative pain, improving patient quality of life, and providing new ideas for rehabilitation treatment of rotator cuff injury patients after surgery. |
