The acute cross-education effect of foam rolling on the thigh muscles in patients after total knee arthroplasty
The results showed significant improvements in ROM, pain, and stiffness of the operative side after the FR intervention on the non-operative side. For future therapy approaches for TKA patients, FR treatment of the non-operative side should be employed in the first weeks after surgery.
