The main focus in the first stage of the rehabilitation problem will be to get 100% range of movement back into the athletes injured knee with no pain being suffered as he currently only has 70% range of movement and 2 months post-surgery the Fowler Kennedy Sport Medicine Clinic suggest that he should have full range of movement (ROM) in his knee (Werstin, 2009). It will hope to achieve this by introducing closed kinetic chain exercises (CKC) which are exercises that use a resistance such as squats and bicycling (Heijne et al, 2004) but also must remember that it is just as vital to maintain the highest level of strength and function possible in the unaffected knee as well, this is important as during the program we will use the unaffected leg as a comparison to assess the progress of the affected knee (Hiemstra et al, 2000). These have been chosen as according to Fleming et al 2003, CKC

osteoarthritis is moral and beneficial to society. Osteoarthritis is the most well-known type of joint illness around the world. Also, the individual's own particular bone marrow stem cells is a significant wellspring of potential treatment as they can produce joint tissue the body will not reject when re-embedded. All things considered, as individuals age the quantity of stem cells diminishes and those that remain are less capable of developing and repairing tissue. Likewise, once an injury happens the cells in newts can change utilizing a procedure known as dedifferentiation. The cells combine and come back to a stem cell like state to permit them to multiply and create the specific cells required for new tissue arrangement. Be that as it

A study conducted by Deyle et al.7 took 83 patients approximately 60 years old with osteoarthritis in the knee and split them into a treatment group and control group. The treatment group received manual physical therapy, which consisted of stretching, ROM, and strengthening exercises, while the placebo group was given a non-therapeutic amount of ultrasound. Participants were required to attend physical therapy appointments twice a week for four weeks. Data was collected at baseline, four weeks, and eight weeks using a six-minute walk test, and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) as outcome measures. Participants in the treatment group saw both clinical and significant differences in their WOMAC scores and the six-minute walk test at the eight-week time period. This study demonstrates that participating in physical therapy can help manage OA symptoms in the knee.7 Another study conducted by Palmer et al.11 looked at the intervention of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) to see if it relieved symptoms of knee OA. Even though the main purpose of this study was looking at the TENS therapy, the control group was given a six- week physical therapy exercise program. The study also used the WOMAC scale and the control group actually showed improvements .11 The knee group had 41.6% of its participants reaching

The purpose of the invention is to help people with Arthritis be able to write down things easily. This is near impossible regularly, as the thinning of cartilage causes a stiffness in the joints, making it extremely difficult. The invention will assist people with Arthritis very much, so they can simply write down anything necessary. The product will also extend people with Arthritis’ job opportunities, as the ability to write is extremely important with the majority of jobs.

The goal in this study were for patients to make a speedy recovery with the help of early gait training, and to return to their daily activities after hospital discharge without the risk of falling. Osteoarthritis patients have a high risk of falling, this study rehabilitated patients who were at risk for falling upon hospital discharge after knee surgery. Primary unilateral total knee replacement was performed for patients suffering from osteoarthritis. The population consisted of a convenience sample, also known as a non-probability sample. These patients were easy to target in the hospital, they were suitable for the study in regards to osteoarthritis and needing total knee replacement. This study proved that gait variability did not change that much with preoperative rehabilitation and postoperative rehabilitation. The patient's stability was similar before and after the

This project is contributory, even in the short time span, because most patients are in physical therapy for four to six weeks. Therefore, I will be able to collect data on multiple patients at different times throughout my study within the 13 week time constraint. The physical therapist measures the patient’s active range of motion at different stages in their treatment to determine if the exercises and stretches are contributing to an increase in range of motion. Ultimately, I can use this data to determine whether or not the patient’s specific course of treatment resulted in an improved active range of motion in their injured knee.
