Physiotherapy Shows Benefits Following Knee Replacement
According to a recent study published on bmj.com, physiotherapy can improve the daily lives of osteoarthritis patients who have undergone knee replacement surgery. Osteoarthritis is the most common type of disability found in oler people, so total knee replacement surgery is a routinely performed procedure. Since some patients continue to experience problems with everyday tasks shortly after surgery, researchers reviewed data to determine if short term physiotherapy is an effective solution.
The study involved over 600 patients who were reviewed for effectiveness of physiotherapy treatments accordng to improved function, quality of life, walking, range of knee joint motion, and muscle strength. The results found a small to moderate effect of functional exercise on joint motion and quality of life at three to four months after surgery. This effect, however, was not sustained at one year.
The authors believe that, despite inconclusive evidence, these results indicate that patients should be referred for a short course of physiotherapy exercise to provide short term benefits. These findings also suggest that further research would be worthwhile to reduce uncertainty. The lack of high quality research on the effectiveness of physiotherapy programs following total knee replacement is strongly highlighted by this study.

Pain in your lower back or legs can feel like the end of the world. You can't do any of the things you love without shooting, burning pain that doesn't leave you alone whether you sit, stand or lie down. Traditional medical diagnoses often prescribe pain killers or surgery, neither of which are attractive options. Pain killers only mask the problem and surgery, in addition to being invasive, is not as effective as you might think because many patients do not experience relief of symptoms. You need a better option. Hoboken Integrated Healthcare, led by Dr. Joseph Canova, is a multi-disciplinary team of chiropractors, physical therapists, and medical doctors that uses safer, non-surgical, non-invasive means to relieve back and leg pain from conditions like sciatica and herniated or bulging discs. You can depend on Hoboken Integrated if you need treatment.
