Implication

Systematic review summarizes evidence from RCTs on manual therapy benefits in pain relief and functional recovery for TKR patients.

Key Points

  • Manual therapy significantly reduces postoperative pain in patients undergoing total knee replacement.
  • The review analyzed 10 RCTs, showing potential benefits of manual therapy techniques such as MLD and KT.
  • Findings indicate improvements in joint mobility and patient satisfaction following manual therapy interventions.
  • Variability in treatment methods and patient demographics suggests the need for more standardized research.
