Brief Summary   Total knee replacement is a surgical procedure for the end-stage knee osteoarthritis. Although total knee arthroplasty is widely regarded as effective at reducing knee pain, the surgery results in immediate and persistent deficits in lower extremity strength. It is estimated that pressure biofeedback training is effective in the activation of the quadriceps muscle in orthopedic surgeries. However, to date, the effect of pressure biofeedback training on early activation of quadriceps and knee range of motion in total knee replacement has not been reported. hence, the need for the study is to find out the effect of pressure biofeedback training on quadriceps muscle strength and knee range of motion among people with total knee replacement.
