Electrical stimulation effect on extensor<br />
lag and length of hospital stay after total<br />

RCT<br />
RCT<br />
motion (CPM) on range of motion (ROM),<br />
functional ability, and length of stay after primary<br />
total knee arthroplasty.<br />
Interventions: conventional physical <strong>the</strong>rapy<br />
intervention only, conventional physical <strong>the</strong>rapy<br />
and 35 minutes of CPM applications daily,<br />
conventional physical <strong>the</strong>rapy and 2 hours of CPM<br />
applications daily.<br />
Outcome variables: active ROM in knee flexion at<br />
discharge, active ROM in knee extension, Timed<br />
"Up & Go" Test results, Western Ontario and<br />
McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index<br />
questionnaire scores, length of stay.<br />
RCT (60 patients) to compare a cold compression<br />
dressing (Cryo-cuff®) to a modified Robert Jones<br />
bandage after total knee replacement.<br />
Interventions: Cryo/cuff compared to modified<br />
Robert Jones bandage.<br />
Outcome variables: blood loss, range of movement,<br />
pain scores and need for analgesia.<br />
RCT (120 patients) on effectiveness on outpatient<br />
physio<strong>the</strong>rapy versus no physio<strong>the</strong>rapy after total<br />
knee replacement.<br />
Interventions: traditional physio<strong>the</strong>rapy versus no<br />
physio<strong>the</strong>rapy after total knee arthroplasty.<br />
Outcome variables: R.O.M.<br />
RCT RCT on <strong>the</strong> influence of length of hospital stay on<br />
<strong>the</strong> rehabilitation outcomes after primary total knee<br />
arthroplasty.<br />
Interventions: hospital joint arthroplasty program<br />
implemented to decrease length of stay versus no<br />
program.<br />
Outcome variables: range of motion and Knee<br />
Society scores at preoperative and 3-, 6-, and 12-<br />
RCT<br />
month postoperative intervals<br />
CT (40 patients) on <strong>the</strong> effects of electrostimulation<br />
to reduce extensor lag and decrease length of<br />
hospital stay.<br />
Interventions: electrostimulation and traditional<br />
physio<strong>the</strong>rapy versus physio<strong>the</strong>rapy only.<br />
Outcome variables: extensor lag and length of<br />
