What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether adding a stretching device to standard physical therapy can help people regain knee bending after total knee replacement surgery. Some people have difficulty bending their knee during recovery. When this happens, doctors may recommend another procedure called motion-restoring surgery to improve knee movement. This study aims to answer two main questions. First, does adding a hydraulic high-intensity stretching device to physical therapy help people regain knee bending after surgery? Second, does using the device affect recovery, daily activities, or the chance of needing another procedure? Researchers will compare two treatment approaches. One group will receive standard physical therapy alone. The other group will receive standard physical therapy and will also use a hydraulic high-intensity stretching device called the Ermi Knee Fl
