To explore the rehabilitation effect of acupuncture on motorcycle athletes’ knee injuries. Firstly, 60 city association motorcycle athletes with knee joint injuries were selected, and the control group and the experimental group were tested and compared by random grouping. The control group received a series of planned rehabilitation training followed by traditional Chinese massage to relax. The experimental group used acupuncture therapy plan for rehabilitation after rehabilitation training. After the control group and the experimental group have completed the test, the data is measured to compare the knee joint function score (Lyholm) grade differences and pain scores at several different time nodes and observe and analyze them. The Lysholm score and pain score of the control group at different time nodes are both Lower than the experimental group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Data experiments prove that acupuncture therapy is more effective for knee joint injury rehabilitation, and is better than general traditional Chinese massage therapy. For motorcycle athletes’ knee joint injury rehabilitation, acupuncture therapy combined with rehabilitation training can significantly reduce athlete’s knee joint pain, reduce the number of athletes’ injuries, speed up knee joint injury recovery, increase joint mobility, and improve rehabilitation efficacy.
