Hi there,
Definetely good to see some clinical issues discussed.
Not much info on THRs etc. but to save some time on AKP I know you said you
were not that interested but if I can help why not? One of our Senior
Physios has just done a lit. review on AKP and found the thing most in line
with EBP is an exercise used by I think Mucie et al, essential a straight
leg raise with hip in ext rot, ankle in DF and the good leg flexed so the
heel is inline with 'bad' knee joint line. To be most effective as a dept.
we sent most AKP patients away doing this for 6 weeks and have had
unexpectedly good results. If at 6 weeks we had no joy we then try tapeing
other VMO etc.
I will try and send you a THR/TKR protocol soon.
Cheers
John Willenbruch
P.S. by asian do you mean indian/pakistani or chinese/japanese different
parts of the country/world use the term to mean different things.
