A great heterogeneity in terms of control<br />

Methodological quality also varied widely among<br />

studies.<br />

Systematic Review Systematic review of 15 eligible included RCTs on<br />

<strong>the</strong> efficacy of continuous passive mobilisation on<br />

range of motion (mobility).<br />

Great heterogeneity was noted among <strong>the</strong> studies<br />

in terms of blinding procedure, control intervention,<br />

outcome measures and quality in general.<br />

However, <strong>the</strong>re does no seem to be a relationship<br />

between study quality and outcome for <strong>the</strong> studies<br />

Systematic Review<br />

included in this review.<br />

This mini-review of 2 RCTs (60 patients)<br />

evaluates <strong>the</strong> effectiveness of pre-operative exercise<br />

in improving <strong>the</strong> mobility and function of adult<br />

patients undergoing total knee replacement.<br />

The two studies had a number of methodological<br />

weaknesses. Hence, conclusions and<br />

recommendations available in <strong>the</strong> studies must be<br />

viewed with caution.<br />
