Dr. Lin Yunfei
Rehabilitation training for knee synovitis mainly includes exercises to improve joint flexion and extension, enhancement of knee flexion and extension function, and muscle strengthening. Muscle strengthening primarily focuses on the quadriceps. One effective method is performing bicycling movements in the air to strengthen the extensor and flexor muscles around the knee joint, thereby minimizing the impact of synovitis. Since the severity of synovitis varies among individuals, rehabilitation programs should also differ accordingly. It is essential to develop personalized exercise guidance plans tailored to each individual's stage of synovitis.
