Restoring physical function after knee replacement: a cross sectional comparison of progressive strengthening vs standard physical therapy.

CONCLUSION: More participants in the progressive strengthening group had physical function that was similar to the healthy control group, when compared to the standard of care group. Progressive strengthening rehabilitation may be more effective in restoring normative levels of function after TKA than standard of care. PMID: 29877749 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
