Summary

Globally, the prevalence of total joint replacement (TKR) procedures has been rising, providing patients with better joint function, decreased pain, and enhanced quality of life. A thorough and successful postoperative rehabilitation program, which attempts to restore optimal function and lower the risk of problems related to the treatment, is necessary for the success of total knee replacement (TKR) procedures. After total knee replacement, postoperative rehabilitation is a crucial stage in the patient's healing process. Normal knee function is frequently hampered by issues like pain management, muscular weakness, joint stiffness, and proprioceptive deficiencies. Therefore, choosing a suitable rehabilitation regimen is crucial.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

High Intensity Strength Training

* High-intensity workouts to strengthen the quadriceps and enhance knee function; * Knee flexion and extension 10 lbs. * 10RM of hip flexion and extension * 10RM hip adduction and abduction * Standing with feet aligned for one minute\*2, standing on one leg's forefoot and the other leg's heel for two minutes\*2, standing on one foot for three seconds\*15, and walking ten meters in a straight line for four minutes * 4-week program; 3 days/week; Conventional Treatment: Exercises for range of motion, mobility and weight bearing, muscle stretching, static quadriceps exercise, quadriceps exercise, and straight leg raising

OTHER

Muscle Energy Technique

The Muscle Energy Technique (MET) to strengthen and flex your quadriceps and hamstrings. * After maintaining an isometric contraction for ten seconds, a little stretch was maintained for thirty seconds. * Four contractions every treatment, separated by three seconds of rest. Standing with feet parallel for one minute\*2, standing on one leg's forefoot and the other leg's heel for two seconds\*2, standing on the forefoot for three seconds\*15 * Move in a 10 m by 4 straight line. * 4-week program; 3 days/week Conventional Treatment: Exercises for range of motion, mobility and weight bearing, muscle stretching, static quadriceps exercise, quadriceps exercise, and straight leg raising
