A Case Study on the Effectiveness of Therapeutic Exercises in the Rehabilitation of Medial Meniscal Injury
Abstract: Background: Meniscal injuries, common in athletes and older adults, occur when the knee twists under external force. Menisci are fibrocartilaginous structures vital for weight distribution, joint stabilization, and proprioception. Method: This case study focused on a 37-year-old male injured during football, using the WOMET Scale, Numerical Rating Scale, and Goniometer to assess outcomes. Results and Discussions: Post-test results showed improved knee flexion (120?), extension (130?), hip flexion (105?), reduced pain and a WOMET score increase from 33.9% to 77.9%. Conclusion: Therapeutic exercises significantly improved flexibility, muscle strength, and joint function, aiding recovery and enhancing quality of life.
