PURPOSE: The use of biophysical stimuli produced by extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) can improve the rehabilitation treatment of patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The aim of our study is to evaluate the short-term efficacy of early postoperative ESWT in combination with physiotherapy in terms of pain reduction and motor function recovery of patients undergoing TKA and compare it with conventional physiotherapy treatment.
METHODS: Fifty-six patients undergoing TKA were enrolled in the study from January 2019 to February 2020. Patients received two sessions of physiotherapy daily, with (experimental group) or without (control group) four sessions of ESWT within seven days after surgery. Patients were prospectively evaluated at baseline and at post-operative day two and seven. Assessment included active knee range of motion (aROM), timed up and go (TUG) test, visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain, and Borg scale.
RESULTS: Fifty patients completed the study. Both treatments proved to be effective in reducing pain and improving the knee range of motion and functional scores at seven days after surgery: the aROM in the ESWT group was 36.8 ± 11.0 grades (p < 0.001), while in control group was 19.8 ± 7.8 grades (p < 0.001). TUG, VAS, and BORG scores showed a similar trend. Comparative analysis revealed superior clinical results for the experimental group in all the outcomes, in particular aROM (96.0 ± 5.40 vs. 81.20 ± 11.01, p < 0.001) and TUG test (17.4 ± 5.61 vs. 21.24 ± 5.88, p < 0.001), at day seven after surgery.
CONCLUSION: Early application of ESWT in addition to physiotherapy can positively influence the rehabilitation process after TKA. The treatment proved to be well tolerated and safe. Preliminary results demonstrated better pain control and functional scores compared to physiotherapy alone.
