How effective are joint mobilization and wax baths for post-traumatic stiff ankles?

In 2013, Rashid, et. al., conducted study about Rehabilitation which plays a pivotal role in restoring mobility and reducing pain for individuals suffering from post-traumatic stiff ankles. Physiotherapists often employ mobilization techniques to address these issues. A recent study conducted at the Sajid Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation Center in Multan sought to determine whether the addition of Paraffin Wax Bath to these techniques could enhance their … Continue reading How effective are joint mobilization and wax baths for post-traumatic stiff ankles?

Does intensive continuous passive motion improve postoperative outcomes in knee replacement patients?

In a comprehensive study conducted at a medical center in Taiwan from January to December 2006, Chen, et. al., sought to investigate the impact of aggressive continuous passive motion on postoperative outcomes for patients who had undergone total knee arthroplasty (TKA) within six months. TKA, commonly known as knee replacement surgery, is performed to alleviate pain and improve joint mobility in individuals suffering from osteoarthritis. … Continue reading Does intensive continuous passive motion improve postoperative outcomes in knee replacement patients?

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?

How effective is a modified stretching routine for prolonged hamstring flexibility?

In 2001, Spernoga, et. al., Enhancing flexibility which is a key component of optimizing athletic performance and reducing the risk of injuries. Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching techniques have been highlighted for their effectiveness in improving range of motion compared to other stretching methods like passive, ballistic, or static stretching. This study aims to investigate the duration of improved hamstring flexibility resulting from a unique, … Continue reading How effective is a modified stretching routine for prolonged hamstring flexibility?

How long does enhanced hamstring flexibility last after static stretching?

In 2000, DePino, et. al., conducted study about Muscle flexibility which is a crucial aspect of overall mobility and physical performance. Static stretching has long been acknowledged for its potential to improve muscle flexibility. While various studies have highlighted the immediate benefits of static stretching, there is a gap in our understanding regarding how long these flexibility gains persist, especially after same-day stretching. In this … Continue reading How long does enhanced hamstring flexibility last after static stretching?
