The purposes of this study were to measure the ranges of motion in knee joint and during continuous passive motion(CPM) treatment and to computationally calculate joint angles at the knee joint dependent on the CPM machine design and its application. Four CPM machines and eleven candidates were recruited for this study. Experimental and numerical studies have been peformed to calculate the range-of-motion of CPM machines. From the experimental measurements, the average range of motions at the knee joint for the CPM machine #1, #2, #3, and #4 were lower than the manufactures suggested values due to improper alignments of the hip and knee joints to the CPM machines. Different design of CPM machine generated different outcomes of the ROM at the knee joints during CPM. The experiments and kinematic simulation in this study could be used to provide useful guidance in the treatment of CPM after joint surgery.

Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the effects of joint mobilization and kinesio taping on pain, range of motion and knee function in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Methods: Thirty subjects were selected and divided into three groups: group 1 was treated with joint mobilization, group 2 was treated with kinesio taping and group 3 was treated with joint mobilization and kinesio taping. Joint mobilization was performed for 20 minutes three times a week for a period of 4 weeks, after which tape was applied for the same period of time and it was not exceeded 24 hours. Pain, range of motion and knee function were then assessed to identify the effectiveness. A visual analog scale (VAS) was used for pain assessment, while active and passive range of motion (AROM, PROM) were assessed using smart phones application, and knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score (KOOS) was used to assess knee function. Results: After intervention, the joint mobilization group and kinesio taping group showed significant improvements in VAS, AROM, PROM and KOOS (Symptom, Pain, ADL, QOL), whereas no significant difference was found in sport/recreation. The joint mobilization with kinesio taping group showed significant improvements in all items, and a significant increase was found in AROM and PROM compared to the other two groups. Conclusion: We found that joint mobilization and kinesio taping effectively improved pain, range of motion and knee function in patients with knee osteoarthritis, but that application of joint mobilization with kinesio taping was most effective.

Background: The purpose of this study was to find out the real truth of the effect of PROM (Passive range of motion) and AAROM (Active assistive range of motion) exercise on increasing the knee flexion. This randomized, controlled trial examined whether or not the incorporation of PROME(passive range of motion exercise) to a postoperative rehabilitation protocol would offer a better clinical outcome after TKA (Total knee arthroplasty) Method: The subject (n=36) measured range of motion (ROM).18 consecutive patients who underwent TKAs at SNUH dept. OS received PROME for knee by a physical therapist during the physiotherapy sessions and not for the other 18 patients who underwent TKAs received No-PROME (AAROME) for knee by herself. Result: There were significant differences in the PROME group, No-PROME group ROM progress width And there were significant differences in the PROME group between No-PROME group ROM improvement width. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that the incorporation of PROME does offer additional clinical benefits to the patients after TKA. Our findings may suggest that encouraging patients to perform PROM exercises would be a better option and that physiotherapy session by a physical therapist holds good even now.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of interference current therapy and laser therapy on functional recovery after total knee arthroplasty by measuring the Berg balance scale and range of motion. Methods: Subjects were 30 patients who were admitted to G Hospital after total knee arthroplasty. They were randomly assigned to experimental group I in which interference current therapy was applied (n=10), experimental group II in which laser therapy was applied (n=10), or the control group (n=10). The Berg balance scale and range of motion of the subjects were measured before, after 2 weeks, and after 4 weeks of therapy. Results: There was a statistically significant change (p<0.05) in the Berg balance scale and range of motion before and after therapy intervention among the laser therapy group and the interference current therapy group. There was also a significant change between the groups in the Berg balance scale and range of motion. Tukey's post hoc comparison showed a statistically significant difference between the control group and experimental group I and between the control group and experimental group II (p<0.05). Conclusion: The application of interference current therapy and laser therapy resulted in a significant change in both the Berg balance scale and range of motion among patients with total knee arthroplasty. The findings of this study can be used as preliminary clinical data in evaluating functional recovery in patients with total knee arthroplasty in a post-clinic setting.

Purpose: This study investigated the effect of the augmented reality (AR)-based knee joint short period exercise program and used a motion analyzer with a 3D camera to determine the range of motion and dynamic balance and further investigate the effects of therapeutic exercise on patients. Methods: This study used AR-based motion analysis and a Y-balance test to measure the range of motion (ROM) of each joint: the hip joint and the knee joint. After the measurements, an exercise program was applied to the subjects, using the knee motion program function, and the muscles of the quadriceps femoris and the hamstring were stretched or strengthened. Results: Our results showed knee joint extension at the dominant hip joint flexion position. While there was no significant difference (p>.05) at this position, there were significant differences in the non-dominant hips, unbalanced knee joint flexion, and superior knee joint flexion (p<.05). The Y-balance test using the non-dominant leg supported by the dominant legs showed that the absolute reach was $69.70{\pm}7.06cm$ before the exercise, and the absolute reach after the exercise was $77.56{\pm}6.09cm$ (p<.05). Conclusions: There was a significant difference when the movement of the lower limbs supported the superior limbs, and a significant difference was found in the ROM when the non-dominant side supported the dominant side. Therefore, the AR-based exercise program improves the balance of the human body and the range of motion of the joints, and research that aims to improve patients abilities should continue.
