| Research Abstract |
The aim of this study was to investigate the histopathological changes in the joint components occurred by immobilization using a rat knee joint contracture model, and the effect of manual therapy (mobilization) and ultrasound therapy (Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound: LIPUS). While the joint capsule had showed dense hyperplastic tissue between the collagen fiber bundles after joint immobilization, each intervention enlarged the spaces between collagen fiber bundles in the joint capsule. Thus, mobilization and LIPUS should be considered as a therapeutic option for the joint contracture.
