Protocol summary

Study aim
To determine the effects of DAPRE technique and close kinetic chain exercises on pain intensity, ROM, function, strength among post-operative knee stiffness.
Design
Randomize clinical trial, not blind trial, 2 group.
Settings and conduct
Pakistan Society of Rehabilitation of Disabled Persons (PSRD).
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
INCLUSION CRITERIA:• Post-operative knee stiffness (patients with 1-3 month stiffness), Both male and female , age 30-60 years, Willing to participate in research. EXCLUSION CRITERIA:• Pre-operative knee stiffness,Severe cardiopulmpnary disease,Patients undergoing chemotherapy,Any traumatic injury/ Acute inflammatory muscular pathology.
Intervention groups
Group A: DAPRE Technique with conventional therapy. In DAPRE technique, four sets of exercises were performed. The first two sets of exercise consisted of ten and then six repetitions, per- formed against one-half and three-fourths of the previously established working weight. The full working weight was used on the third set, and the patient performed as many repetitions as possible. After performing each of the third and fourth sets, patients rested for 1 min. 6 weeks (3 sessions/week) • Hot pack: 10 min • Stretching of calf and hamstring muscle: 10 min Group B: Close kinetic chain exercises with conventional therapy. Close kinetic chain exercises for extensor lag is seated leg press, double or single one third knee bend, step up and down exercise, wall slide with weight. Treatment time will be 30 minutes and three session per week will be applied on alternate day for up to 6 weeks. Pre interventional readings will be taken at baseline & post interventional readings at 6 weeks • Hot pack: 10 min • Stretching of calf and hamstring muscle: 10 min.
Main outcome variables
Pain(NPRS), KNEE functional improvement(WOMAC), Knee ROM(universal goniometer), Strength.

Health conditions studied

1

Description of health condition studied
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.

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group: Group A, 11 participants will receive Conventional physiotherapy treatment in addition to DAPRE technique by leg extension machine. In DAPRE technique, four sets of exercises were performed. The first two sets of exercise consisted of ten and then six repetitions, per- formed against one-half and three-fourths of the previously established working weight. Working weight is the amount of weight a patient uses during an individual session. The full working weight was used on the third set, and the patient performed as many repetitions as possible. After performing each of the third and fourth sets, patients rested for 1 min. 6 weeks (3 sessions per week) • Hot pack: 10 min • Stretching of calf and hamstring muscle: 10 min
