The purpose of this study was to develop the rehabilitative exercise program(REP) after the meniscus repair. The REP consist of seven phases, and each lasts for two weeks. The athletes carried on REP during 14th weeks. Test items to examine the effects of REP were evaluated pre-operation, post-operation 6th, 10th and 14th weeks respectively. the musculoarticular function of the knee involved side was de-creased more than the uninvolved side. After applying REP, the ROM of knee joint, the proprioceptive functions, pain degree were significantly improved. The deficit ratio be-tween both knee joints, extensor and flexor were sig-nificantly decreased, which the involved knee side was side showed nearly to approaching the normal range(±10%). Therefore, it is necessary to perform an effective REP for the patients with meniscus repair.
