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 />
