Clinical value of regular passive ROM exercise by a physical therapist after total knee arthroplasty

Abstract: Regular passive ROM exercise (PROME) by a physical therapist is often incorporated in rehabilitation protocols after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This randomized, controlled trial examined whether or not the incorporation of PROME to a postoperative rehabilitation protocol would offer a better clinical outcome after TKA. Fifty consecutive patients who underwent bilateral TKAs staged 2 weeks apart received PROME for one knee and not for the other. The pain level (7D and 14D), patient's preference (before disc… Show more

“…Better alleviated pain sensation in treatment group saved the dosage of opioid analgesics, which reduced the possibility of addiction and adverse effects. Nocturnal pain is not only a perioperative problem but also a common complaint of osteoarthritis patients [13,14]. However, night pain, in many cases, cannot be completely relieved and is hard to be treated by joint arthroplasty alone.…”

“…In this study, we adopted a CPM program comprising exercise of 15 min/day for 7 days/week, starting on the day following surgery. In physical rehabilitation protocols, 15–20-min passive motion treatments with the assistance of a physical therapist are frequently incorporated after knee surgery [31]. Accordingly, given practical considerations in animal CPM application, we used 15-min short-term stimuli in the knee joints to minimize the stress to the rabbits instead of 8 h/day [32] or 24 h/day [33] therapies.…”

“…Lustosa (2010), corrobora com este estudo, ao trazer como forma de tratar essas alterações a utilização de exercícios multimodais, incluindo fortalecimento, flexibilidade, resistência e equilíbrio, com consequente melhora na função física e na qualidade de vida pelo fato de diminuir a dependência e promover a socialização. Kim et al (2009), avaliando o valor clínico de um programa de exercícios para o ganho de ADM passiva no pós-operatório de ATJ através da medição da ADM, da dor e do questionário WOMAC, obtiveram como resultados que a ADM ativa é muito mais importante do que a passiva e que deve-se focar no funcional e nas atividades de vida diária do paciente.…”
