Static Progressive Splinting in the Management of Knee Stiffness Following Total Knee Arthroplasty

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Arthroplasty, Replacement, Knee

In brief

The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility and initial efficacy of static progressive splinting for individuals presenting with knee stiffness following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Data from this trial will be utilized in a NIH grant application for a larger randomized controlled trial directly comparing static progressive splinting to manipulation under anesthesia (MUA) which is the current standard of care for knee stiffness after TKA.
