Summary

To evaluate the effects of a knee flexion Dynasplint orthosis on knee flexion angle after a total knee arthroplasty. Sixty participants, who underwent a total knee arthroplasty, were randomly assigned in two groups: control group and Dynasplint group.

Conditions

  • Acquired Fixed Flexion Deformity of the Knee (Disorder)

Interventions

DEVICE

Knee flexion Dynasplint orthosis

Standardized rehabilitation procedures started at the first day after total knee arthroplasty. Both groups received the same standardized physical therapy intervention. The experimental group used the knee flexion Dynasplint orthosis (Dynasplint Systems, Inc. Canada, Woodbridge, ON) at night, while sleeping, over six continuous hours for one month, starting seven days after the total knee arthroplasty. The control group received only the standardized physical therapy intervention.
