Abstract: Study objectives: To find out The effectiveness of strengthening post TKR, isometric exercises and home based exercise programme of both quadriceps and hamstring strength in post surgery cases. Participants: 60 subjects ongoing post TKR rehab. All were divided into group A and group B with 30 patients in each group. Outcome measures: Goniometer is used to measure range of knee joint in both of the groups post rehabilitation and strengthening exercises. Results: Comparative results can be seen by graphs and tables. Conclusion: It can be concluded from this study that is there any increase in range in group of subjects with both quadriceps and hamstring strengthening exercises. Procedure: a comparative study was conducted to evaluate the effects of quadriceps strengthening exercises versus a combined protocol of quadriceps and hamstring strengthening exercises on range of motion in patients with osteoarthritic knee post-total knee replacement (TKR) cases. The study aimed to assess whether the addition of hamstring exercises in combination with quadriceps exercises would lead to greater improvements in range of motion compared to quadriceps exercises alone. The study likely involved two groups of patients, where one group followed a specific quadriceps strengthening exercise protocol, while the other group followed a protocol that included both quadriceps and hamstring strengthening exercises. Measurements such as range of motion (including flexion and extension), assessment were likely taken before and after the intervention period.
