Comparison of proprioception, strength, and dynamic balance between aquatic and cycling trainings after arthroscopic partial meniscectomy during early rehabilitation in young male athletes

Arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM) strives to preserve knee biomechanics and function after the meniscal rupture. However, patients undergoing APM experience long-term impacts like proprioceptive deficit functional decline. This study aimed examine compare effects of aquatic leg cycling trainings on young athletes undergone APM. Ninety-seven male with were assigned training group (ATG, n = 49) (CTG, 48). Both intervention conducted three times a week for 6 weeks 2 The rehabilitation was same in each session. International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) questionnaire scores, joint position sense, Y-balance test, isokinetic strength measured before interventions. Significant improvements observed regarding variables both ATG CTG groups. Comparison two groups found that had higher scores IKDC greater muscle power, lower absolute error sense test compared group. are thus considered effective interventions early phase following Moreover, may be more conducive than improving subjective symptoms, proprioception, power.
