Abstract in brief

The number of knee surgeries like total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is expected to increase, highlighting the need for effective non-surgical treatment options.
A structured range-of-motion (ROM) based rehabilitation program focusing on knee extension, flexion, swelling reduction, and then strengthening showed significant improvements in patients’ knee function and pain.
In a study of 396 patients, this program not only improved their knee health but also prevented 76% of them from needing surgery.]
