SUMMARY
Arthrofibrosis is the abnormal proliferation of fibrous tissue within a joint and around the joint that leads to loss of motion, pain, muscle weakness, swelling, functional limitation. Study conducted to determine additional effects of IASTM along with conventional physiotherapy as compared to conventional physiotherapy alone on Range of motion, functional limitation and pain in knee arthrofibrosis.
