Abstract: Post-operative knee rehabilitation is crucial for restoring function, reducing pain, and improving quality of life. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of combining strength and mobility training in post-operative knee patients compared to strength training alone. A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 100 participants who underwent ACL reconstruction or total knee arthroplasty. The intervention group received a combination of strength and mobility exercises, while the control group received strength training only. Outcome measures included knee range of motion (ROM), quadriceps strength, Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain, and the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS). Results showed significant improvements in ROM, strength, functional performance, and pain reduction in the intervention group compared to the control group. The combined approach demonstrated superior outcomes in functional recovery and quality of life, supporting its use in clinical rehabilitation.
Keywords: Post-operative knee rehabilitation, strength training, mobility training, ACL reconstruction, total knee arthroplasty, functional recovery, pain management.
