PHYSIOTHERAPY MANAGEMENT OF POST-OPERATIVE KNEE STIFFNESS WITH KALTENBORN MOBILIZATION TECHNIQUE WITHOUT CONTINUOUS PASSIVE MACHINE

Abstract

Background: There are three main factors of causing this mid shaft fracture of femur which are motor vehicle accidents, industrial accidents or falls from height. These traumatic injuries needs surgical fixation. Due to surgical management it limits patient's functional mobility and decreases patient return to previous level of work. Soft tissue limitations include hip abductor weakness, anterior knee pain and decreased function with respect to gait. Objective: To manage post op knee stiffness with kaltenborn mobilization without continuous passive machine
