Summary

In the postoperative period of a total knee arthroplasty, subjects present limitations of articular amplitudes, swelling, pain and functional limitations. Functional rehabilitation is unanimously recommended, including the use of cryotherapy. However, there is no consensus regarding the methods of application of cryotherapy. Thus the objective of the study is to compare 2 cryotherapy techniques associated with a classic rehabilitation on the improvement of mobility, swelling, pain and functional parameters. The 2 cryotherapies were a compressive cryotherapy and a so-called classic cryotherapy by cold pack.

Conditions

• Knee Arthropathy
• Cryotherapy Effect

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	cryotherapy	cryotherapy was added to rehabilitation\*. One group received compressive cryotherapy and the other conventional cold pack cryotherapy. \* rehabilitation includes (="classic rehabilitation") passive and active of mobilization of knee and patella, treat arthrogenic muscular inhibition, learn to lock the quadriceps, progressive muscular strengthening of the periarticular muscles of the knee, stretching of the quadriceps and the posterior muscular chain, proprioceptive exercises with bi- and unipodal balance, transfer of support and resumption of the walking pattern.
