Objective: To explore the application of two different walking assistance methods, frame type and axillary type, in the postoperative functional exercise of patients with artificial total knee surface replacement, and compare the effects of the two different walking assistance methods on patients’ pain, psychological state, knee joint function, The impact on the patient's overall function and the occurrence of falls. Methods: 100 patients who underwent total knee surface replacement were selected as the research subjects. They were randomly divided into a frame-type group and an axillary-type group according to the type of walkers used. Patients in the frame-type group used frame-type walkers to assist in exercises, and in the axillary-type group. The patient uses an axillary walker to assist with exercises. The VAS pain score, PHQ-9 questionnaire score, simple knee joint function score, overall function score and the occurrence of patient falls were compared between the two groups of patients after using different walking aids for 3 months of exercise. Results: After three months of intervention, the VAS scores of patients in the frame style group were lower than those in the axillary style group, and the difference was statistically significant (P=0.002＜0.05); the PHQ-9 scores of patients in the frame style group were lower than those in the axillary style group, and the difference was statistically significant. Significance (P=0.024<0.05); the simple knee joint score and overall function score of patients in the frame type group were higher than those in the axillary type group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: The use of frame-type walkers to assist in exercises after artificial total knee surface replacement is beneficial to reducing the patient's pain, improving the patient's mood, and promoting the recovery of the patient's knee joint function.
