NCT00797875

Brief Summary

To investigate immediate and short term effects on angle of knee flexion, intensity of pain, strength of the knee extensor, and function of the lower extremity by using PNF stretching technique in patients with total knee arthroplasty. hypothesis:TKA patients may increase ROM after PNF stretching
