Does kaltenborn mobilization improve sensory function in thumb carpometacarpal osteoarthritis?

In 2011, Villafañe, et. al., conducted study about Thumb carpometacarpal osteoarthritis (CMC OA) which is a common condition among the elderly, leading to pain and functional limitations. Kaltenborn manual therapy, a specialized technique involving joint mobilization, has shown promise in alleviating pain associated with CMC OA. In this double-blind, randomized controlled trial (RCT), researchers investigated the impact of Kaltenborn manual therapy on both sensory and … Continue reading Does kaltenborn mobilization improve sensory function in thumb carpometacarpal osteoarthritis?

Is continuous passive motion essential for improved outcomes in computer-assisted total knee arthroplasty?

Continuous passive motion (CPM) therapy has demonstrated its efficacy in promoting tissue healing, reducing edema and hemarthrosis, and improving joint function (Brosseau et. al., 2004). It has also been associated with short-term benefits, such as early flexion improvement and reduced length of hospital stay (LOS). However, the application of CPM specifically in the context of computer-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remained largely unexplored. The primary … Continue reading Is continuous passive motion essential for improved outcomes in computer-assisted total knee arthroplasty?
