Brief summary (from the registry)
This single-blinded randomized control study aimed to determine the effects of instrumental soft tissue mobilization technique with and without conservative treatment in post-operative knee stiffness patients. This study recruited 84 participants who fulfilled the inclusion criteria and were randomly divided into experimental and control groups using the lottery method. The assessor was unaware of the treatment given to both groups. Data were collected at baseline, at the end of the third week, and at the end of the sixth week. Baseline assessments were conducted before the intervention. Post-intervention assessments were conducted immediately after the intervention. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of IASTM, both with and without traditional conservative treatment methods, in improving pain, range of motion, and functional ability in patients experiencing post-operative knee stiffness. By examining these factors, we gained valuable insights into the potential of IASTM as a therapeutic intervention for this challenging condition.
