About this study

Official title: Effectiveness of Mobilization Exercises on Total Knee Arthroplasty Rehabilitation

There is no definite evidence about the most effective treatment approach in early-stage rehabilitation after total knee arthroplasty surgery. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of mobilization exercises applied with classical exercises on pain, joint range of motion, edema, function, quality of life and patient satisfaction in early stage rehabilitation after total knee arthroplasty surgery.

Read the detailed description

There is no definite evidence about the most effective treatment approach in early-stage rehabilitation after total knee arthroplasty surgery. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of mobilization exercises applied with classical exercises on pain, joint range of motion, edema, function, quality of life and patient satisfaction in early stage rehabilitation after total knee arthroplasty surgery. Patients with bicompartmental total knee arthroplasty operation due to knee osteoarthritis will randomly assign to 2 groups. Patients in group 1 will treat with mobilization exercises in addition to classical exercises performed in the early post-op period; patients in group 2 will treat only with classical exercises.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change from Baseline Range of Motion Degree at 2 weeks (time frame: Baseline, Post-op 2 weeks, and Post-op 2 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03215160, which also lists 9 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
