Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • ROM

    knee flexion and extension ROM measured by goniometer

    3 minutes

  • knee extensor muscle strength

    measuring rectus femoris muscle strength by manual muscle testing

    5 minutes

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • functional outcome

    2 minutes

Study Arms (2)

Standard Rehabilitation Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Standard Rehabilitation Group: will receive the standard protocol of king Hussein hospital 6 weeks post-operative which is: Start aggressive knee flexion exercises and increase the extensor strength. Consider CPM/dynasplint if flexion \<60\_ MUA contraindicated. Examination under anesthesia can be done to assess the cause of limited knee flexion. Surgical release is indicated if knee flexion is \< 60 degrees at six months after surgery.

Other: standard rehabilitation protocol

Supervised Rehabilitation Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Supervised Rehabilitation Group: will receive supervised rehabilitation program 1 session / week for 45 minutes-1 hour.

Other: standard rehabilitation protocol

Interventions

they will receive knee flexion exercises and increase the extensor strength
