Abstract
Six months
after a meniscectomy associated with a cruciate ligament reconstruction
the athlete has the force parameter regained, but the velocity and
power not necessary regained. The aim of the present study was to make
a comparative analyses between results of the classical
rehabilitation program for athletes and a special program to improve
velocity and power based on plyometric exercises. The patients was
evaluated with the universal used subjectives methods (IKDC score,
Lysholm scale, thigh perimeter measurement, Hop test) and using Myotest
Accelerometer – rapid and very accurate test in the determination
of the mechanical parameters of the performance - force, velocity and
power. The combination between evaluation with subjective tests and
objective measurements of force, power and velocity with the help of
Myotest has proved to be a rigorous method to appreciate the
athletes’ rehabilitation. Having in mind that six months after a
meniscectomy associated with a cruciate ligament reconstruction the
athlete has the force parameter regained, but the velocity and power
not necessary regained, we have done a comparative study where the
witness group (20 performance athletes) was treated with the classical
rehabilitation program and the experimental group (20 performance
athletes) has associated a special program to improve velocity and
power based on plyometric exercises. This study underline that using a
program with highlights in the rehabilitation of all three mechanical
parameters of the movement (force, velocity, power), an athlete can
safely return to his sports activity, with optimal values for all
parameters.
