The effect of Mulligan's mobilization with movement following total knee arthroplasty: Protocol of a single-blind randomized controlled trial (2020)
Journal Article

Background: Mulligan's mobilization with movement (MWM) aims to enhance the kinematics of the joint. Kinematic impairment of the knee joint is significant following total knee arthroplasty (TKA), which could be managed with Mulligan's MWM. This artic...
