To determine that rehabilitation treatment for a partial meniscectomy is more efficient in the functional recovery of the knee. Set in the fewest possible sessions, what treatment has benefits that last beyond the physical and what is the best cost-effectiveness.
It is expected that the combination of isotonic and isokinetic exercises in post-meniscectomy physiotherapy allows faster and less costly patient rehabilitate than the current isotonic protocol.
Longitudinal randomized single-blind study, 81 patients (27 per group; 3 groups), 18 to 60 years, underwent surgery meniscus and performing rehabilitation at the University Hospital Sant Joan de Reus. The first rehabilitation sessions will be common (manual therapy, electrotherapy, proprioceptive reeducation, isometric exercises, bike exercise and cryotherapy). From Session 10, will be randomized into 3 groups: group 1 protocol added isotonic exercises, group 2 isokinetic exercises and group 3 isotonic and isokinetic exercises.
The principal variable will be the maximum force peak of the muscle. An evaluation of other parameters such as knee function (Lysholm Test) and the degree of pain (VAS) will be performed.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Isotonic exercises + ST | Experimental | This group will realize 20 sessions of muscular force work by means of isotonic exercises, that to the beginning will consist of 2 series of 10 repetitions to 60, 65 and 70 % of a maximum repetition (MR)(MR is the maximum resistance that a muscle can conquer). Later, a gradual progression will be realized and the load will be increasing up to being able to realize, before the session 30: 2 series of 15 repetitions to 60, 65 and 70 %, of 1MR, 2 series of 10 repetitions to 75 and 80 % of 1MR and one series of 6 repetitions to 85 and 90 % of 1MR. |

| Isokinetic exercises + ST | Experimental | This group will realize 20 sessions of muscular force work by means of isokinetic exercises, that to the beginning will consist of 2 series of 10 repetitions to 150, 180 and 210 º / seg in the first session and it will be increasing in a progressive and gradual way up to being able to realize, before the last session: 3 series of 15 repetitions to 180 º, 210 º and 240 º / seg, 2 series of 10 repetitions to 120 º and 150 º / seg and 2 series of 6 repetitions of 60 º and 90 º / seg. |

| Isotonic and isokinetic exercises + ST | Experimental | This group will realize 20 sessions of muscular force work by means of isotonic and isokinetic exercises. To the beginning it will consist of 1 series of 10 repetitions to 150, 180 and 210 º / seg and 1 series of 10 repetitions to 60, 65 and 70 % of 1MR. A gradual progression will be realized up to reaching, before the last session, a load of: 2 series of 15 repetitions to 180, 210 and 240 º / seg, 1 series from 10 to 120 and 150 º / seg and 1 series of 6 repetitions to 60 and 90 º / seg, and 1 series of 15 repetitions to 60, 65 and 70 %, of 1MR, 1 series of 10 repetitions to 75 and 80 % of 1MR and 1 series of 3 repetitions to 85 and 90 % of 1MR. |

| Maximum force peak in flexion of 60 º / seg and 180 º / seg, and extension of 60 º / seg and 180 º / seg. The assessment will be comparative. It will be realized in both the affected knee and the healthy knee. | We will observe the maximum force peak in flexion of 60 º / seg and 180 º / seg, and extension of 60 º / seg and 180 º / seg. Both the valuation and the work of muscular involution with isokinetic exercises will fulfil with an isokinetic dynamometer Biodex 3. | 7 weeks |
