About

The aim of our study is to add to the literature the effect of the effectiveness of the physiotherapy and rehabilitation in the clinic, which will be applied to the patients after the osteochondral allograft transplantation operation, which is a current treatment approach applied after knee cartilage tissue damage, on the range of motion, functionality, pain and muscle strength of the patients during the recovery process. The clinical importance of our aim is that it will have the potential to guide health professionals in determining the appropriate treatment approach in order to reveal the best results that can be obtained due to the lack of many studies in the literature on the treatment of patients after osteochondral allograft surgery.

Investigation of the Effectiveness of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation After Osteochondral Allograft

Experimental group

Description:

The question of our research is to determine the effectiveness of the physiotherapy and rehabilitation protocol applied in the postoperative period on the knee joint range of motion, functionality, muscle strength around the knee joint (quadriceps/hamstring ratio) and pain parameters in patients who underwent osteochondral allograft transplantation surgery and to include it in the literature. In this direction, the hypotheses of our study are; H0: The physical therapy and rehabilitation protocol to be applied after osteochondral allograft transplantation surgery has a positive contribution to the patient's knee joint range of motion, functionality, muscle strength and pain. H1: The physical therapy and rehabilitation protocol to be applied after osteochondral allograft transplantation surgery does not have a positive contribution to the patient's knee joint range of motion, functionality, muscle strength and pain.
