简要总结
Knee traumas termed as any injury or damage to the knee's joint which is caused by different factors like sports injury, accidents and by fall .Knee stiffness is a common complication of femoral and tibia fracture and injuries to the extensor mechanism of the knee.
详细描述
There are many types of trauma of knee joint such as anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear, posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) tears, medial collateral ligament (MCL) tear, lateral collateral ligament (LCL) tear and meniscal tears etc. Post-traumatic knee stiffness is a commonest problem after knee injuries or surgical procedure. It affects significantly patient's quality of life and making daily living activities challenging. Paraffin wax bath therapy involves soaking targeted area in a warm paraffin wax bath pour hot liquid form wax on target area.The heat from the wax increase blood circulation in the affected areas. Mobilization with Movement (MWM) is a type manual therapy technique includes combination of joint mobilization with movement to improve joint mobility, decrease pain and improve functional ability. MWM play a role of application of joint mobilization and active movement simultaneously. The researcher employs a randomized controlled trial methodology.

结局指标
主要结局
VISUAL ANALOG SCALE (VAS)
时间窗: 12 Months
The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) uses a 10 cm line with anchors like "no pain" and "worst pain imaginable", and the score is determined by measuring the distance (in mm or cm) from the "no pain" end to the patient's mark, ranging from 0 to 100
OSTEOARTHRITS INDEX (WOMAC)
时间窗: 12 Months
The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) is a questionnaire used to assess functional disability in individuals with low back pain, with scores ranging from 0% (no disability) to 100% (maximum disability), and interpreted as follows: 0-20% minimal disability, 21-40% moderate, 41-60% severe, 61-80% crippling, and 81-100% bed-bound or exaggerated symptoms
