简要总结
• Knee mobility issues are highly prevalent among individuals with musculoskeletal disorders such as knee osteoarthritis, ligamentous injuries, and patellofemoral pain syndrome. These conditions often lead to reduced knee range of motion (ROM) and increased hamstring tightness, which can significantly impair daily activities and overall quality of life. For instance, the global prevalence of knee osteoarthritis alone is estimated to be around 22.9% in individuals aged 40 and above, highlighting the widespread nature of knee mobility impairments .
• The area of the limited mobility of knee lacks a validated novel device which gives complete Range of motion to patient, leading to a significant research gap. Research is needed to develop a novel device which can provide complete knee mobility and to improve patient outcomes.
