Summary

Arthrofibrosis is the abnormal proliferation of fibrous tissue within a joint and around the joint that leads to loss of motion, pain, muscle weakness, swelling, functional limitation. Study conducted to determine additional effects of IASTM along with conventional physiotherapy as compared to conventional physiotherapy alone on Range of motion, functional limitation and pain in knee arthrofibrosis.

Detailed description

Arthrofibrosis is common condition after surgeries, most of the arthrofibrosis literature addresses arthrofibrosis after arthroplasty or ligamentous reconstruction, and it is replete with manipulation under anesthesia or with arthroscopic interventions or both. Study will be conducted over period of 1 year at fauji foundation hospital.Ethical approval from ERC foundation university medical college. Participants recruited and written inform consent, following which they will be required to complete a self-reported demographic form. The data will be entered and analyzed on SPSS 22. IASTM is simple and effective intervention to improve Rom and functional limitation in patients with knee arthrofibrosis
