Comparative effects of Daily Adjustable Progressive Resistance Exercises technique and Close kinetic chain exercises on extensor lag in post-operative knee stiffness
Not Applicable
- Conditions
- Stiffness is defined as an inadequate range of motion (ROM) that results in functional limitations in activities of daily living. Although early studies reported stiffness in >50% of patients with TKA. Postoperative stiffness (loss of motion) caused by arthrofibrosis has a deleterious effect on knee function. There is a common belief that the timing of surgery has an effect on the risk of stiffness after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery..
