Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Stretching Intensity in Post-Operative Knee Rehabilitation

    Primary outcome includes the duration, frequency, and maximum allowable pain/discomfort levels (measured using Visual Analog Scale) of passive knee flexion stretching exercises used by physiotherapists in post-operative rehabilitation. Data will be collected through a structured questionnaire.

    At time of questionnaire completion (single time point)

Study Arms (1)

Physiotherapists

Licensed physiotherapists with at least one year of clinical experience who have worked in post-operative knee rehabilitation within the past year. Participants will complete a one-time online or in-person questionnaire regarding their clinical decision-making on stretching intensity.
