Abstract
BACKGROUND

Patients with knee arthroplasty often have problems such as slow recovery of knee function, which may cause negative emotions and affect their postoperative rehabilitation. The application of sensory and motor training in the Acknowledge, Introduce, Duration, Evaluation, Thank You (AIDET) communication mode in patients after knee arthroplasty can provide reference for the selection of postoperative rehabilitation training measures.

AIM

To explore the sensory and motor training effects in AIDET communication mode on knee function recovery and resilience of patients after knee arthroplasty.

METHODS

One hundred patients who underwent knee arthroplasty at our hospital between January 2022 and January 2024 were randomly divided into two groups. The control group (n = 50) received routine rehabilitation training. In the observation group (n = 50), the AIDET communication mode was used to perform sensory and motor training, in addition to routine rehabilitation training. The rehabilitation training was administered for 8 weeks. After surgery, knee function, balance ability, walking ability, proprioception, and resilience were compared between the two groups.

RESULTS

The New York Hospital for Special Surgery knee scores of the observation group at the time of discharge and 8 weeks after intervention were (65.23 ± 6.84, 84.53 ± 5.27), which was higher than those of the control group (61.03 ± 7.15, 74.92 ± 6.52) (P < 0.05). The balance ability of the observation group at the time of discharge and 8 weeks after the intervention was higher than that of the control group, the time of time up to go test was shorter than that of the control group, and proprioceptive function was higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05). The resilience level in the observation group after the intervention was higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSION

Sensory and motor training in AIDET communication mode promotes knee function recovery of patients after knee arthroplasty, improves their limb walking ability and balance function, and increases their resilience level.

Keywords: AIDET communication mode; Sensory and motor training; Knee arthroplasty; Knee function; Resilience

Core Tip: The application of sensory and motor training in AIDET communication mode to patients after knee arthroplasty can significantly promote their postoperative knee function recovery, improve their walking ability and balance, and increase their psychological resilience. This study observed knee function recovery after knee arthroplasty and confirmed the efficacy of sensory and motor training in AIDET communication mode at promoting knee function recovery after knee arthroplasty.
