Özet

Background Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is one of the most commonly performed orthopedic surgeries in the lower extremity. However, patient dissatisfaction and functional disability are mostly experienced because of pain and limited range of motion (ROM). Although manual therapy is commonly implemented to improve ROM and modulate pain in the management of musculoskeletal disorders, there is a lack of evidence about its clinical effectiveness on postoperative TKA rehabilitation.
