Effectiveness of Proprio kit as an adjunct to conventional Physiotherapy on soft tissue stretchability and pain threshold in postoperative knee joint stiffness patient – A pilot study.

Abstract

This study is aimed to develop a proprio kit for the postoperative knee joint stiffness patients, to improve the quality of rehabilitation phase. Two different groups were made of the postoperative knee joint stiffness patients. Ethical permission was taken and proper consent from the patients were taken, the patients were given detailed information about the study. The group A was given conventional treatment including all the rehabilitation steps without the proprio kit while group B was trained with the conventional methods as well as the proprio kit in addition and the results were compared of both the groups. Different outcome measures were used like range of motion assessment and pain assessment. Based on the results it was analyzed that the patients of group B were shown speedy recovery as compared to group A. The proprio kit enhances the rehabilitation by reducing the pain and improving range of motion in less duration.
