Abstract

Based on a comprehensive and systematic knee evaluation, the clinician can develop an effective individualized rehabilitation program. Goals are established for the patient by examining their individual needs and allowing adequate progression as directed by the patient's response and ongoing status. The patient should be subjectively and objectively reassessed at each treatment session and have any necessary modifications made in this program at that time.
