Physiotherapy plays an important role in meniscus repair with isometric, isokinetic exercises that aim to strengthen the grub of weak muscles. Objektive: improve to the next phase and increase functional activity to be able to return to the sports field.

Conclusion: there was an increase in ROM, MMT, and Anthropometry after being given therapy exercise for 4 weeks.
