INFLUENCE OF CONVENTIONAL POST TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT REHABILITATION PROTOCOL ON ANGLES OF FLAT FOOT

Background and introduction: Purpose is to find the influence of conventional post total knee replacement rehabilitation protocol on angles of flat foot such as degree of navicular drop and relaxed calcanea l stance phase angles following unilateral Total Knee Replacement. Method: Pre to post test single group experimental study design. 60 subjects undergoing unilateral total kne e replacement recruited and were treated with 4 weeks of conventional post total knee replacement reha bilitation protocol following surgery. Before surgery and after 4 weeks of post surgery outcomes measurements s uch as there navicular drop test angles and relaxed calcaneal stance phase angles were measured. Results: Analysis using Paired ‘t’ test and Wilcoxon signed rank test found that in operated limb there is a statistically significant (p
