Knee flexion Dynasplint orthosis
Standardized rehabilitation procedures started at the first day after total knee arthroplasty. Both groups received the same standardized physical therapy intervention. The experimental group used the knee flexion Dynasplint orthosis (Dynasplint Systems, Inc. Canada, Woodbridge, ON) at night, while sleeping, over six continuous hours for one month, starting seven days after the total knee arthroplasty. The control group received only the standardized physical therapy intervention.
