Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of Continuous Passive Motion
in adjunctive with conventional physical therapy in early post
operative Total #Knee #Arthroplastypatients.
Methods: Total 150 patients were enrolled, randomly selected
in two groups, CPM (n=73) and Control group (n=75), as 2 patients from
CPM group refuse to participate in study. In control group patients
received conventional #physicaltherapy intervention alone, while in CPM
group patients received conventional physical therapy intervention along
with CPM application. Assessment of all patients were carried out
twice by experience #physicaltherapist, once at the preoperative visit 2
weeks prior to TKA for baseline measurements and second at discharge
after 7 days post operatively. Outcome assessed among both group by
assessing active knee range of motion primarily #flexion and extension by
using Goniometry and as secondarily outcome pain, stiffness and
functional difficulty by using WOMAC questionnaire score.
