Скачать или смотреть Stiff Knee MUA or NOT? 9 Weeks Post Op Total Knee Replacement (Manipulation Under Anesthesia)

In this video, physical therapist Tony Maritato responds to a question from Lisa, who is 9 weeks post-op from a left total knee replacement with 106° of flexion and full extension. She's being encouraged to consider a Manipulation Under Anesthesia (MUA), and Tony shares his honest insights after treating thousands of post-TKR patients over the past 20+ years.

You'll learn:

When an MUA might be appropriate

The difference between blind MUA and arthroscopic-assisted MUA

How individual factors like tissue type and overall joint mobility play a role

Why some patients improve after MUA — and why others don’t

The role of Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) devices post-MUA

Whether you're a patient or therapist, this video can help you make a more informed decision about the MUA process after total knee replacement surgery.
