COA/AOA: Knee Flexion Dynasplint (KFD) may enhance range of motion (ROM) following TKA .
Dynamic Splinting After Total Knee Arthroplasty. A Randomized Clinical Trial for Improving Range of Motion
60 patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) were randomized to evaluate the effect of the Knee Flexion Dynasplint (KFD) on range of motion after TKA. Patients were allocated to the KFD group or a control, and were evaluated over 6 months. The results demonstrated that the application of the KFD following TKA resulted in significant improvements in range of motion for those patients with a preoperative flexion of <100°. However, the KFD was unable to be used according to protocol in 46.7% of those allocated to intervention with the device due to pain/discomfort.
