Effects of Stress Ball and Hand Holdig on Pain and Mobility Levels During Continuous Passive Motion In Patients With Total Knee Prosthesis: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Stress ball intervention; A medium hard, round, high quality stress ball of the same brand will be given to the patient\'s actively used hand 1-2 minutes before starting the continuous passive movement exercise by the researcher.The patient will be asked to squeeze and relax the stress ball for a count of 5 during continuous passive movement.After squeezing the stress ball, the patient should count to 5 and then relax it.The patient will be asked to continue this process until the continuous passive movement exercise is completed.

Hand holding intervention will be performed by the person the patient prefers. Before the continuous passive movement exercise, the person concerned will sit next to the patient\'s bed and warm their hands at a level that will not disturb the patient.1-2 minutes before the continuous passive motion exercise, the patient will hold the patient\'s hand with one hand, without using gloves, with moderate pressure, without rubbing or squeezing to an uncomfortable level.Hand holding intervention will continue until the continuous passive movement exercise is completed.
