A total of 9 randomized controlled trials, all evaluating the knee, met eligibility criteria. For stretching, 3 pooled studies reported total ROM, which improved by mean difference (MD) of 9.3\u00b0 (95% CI 5.0\u00b0,13.5\u00b0) versus controls. Two pooled studies showed improved knee flexion ROM (MD 10.8\u00b0 [7.3\u00b0,14.2\u00b0]) versus controls. Five studies were pooled for knee extension with mean improvement 9.1\u00b0 [3.4\u00b0,14.8\u00b0] versus controls. Seven pooled studies showed reduced pain (standardized MD 1.9 [1.2,2.6]). One study reported improved knee extension of 3.7\u00b0 [2.9\u00b0,4.5\u00b0] with use of a device. No studies used orthoses. One study reported on AEs, with none noted. Performance bias was present in all included studies, and only 3 studies clearly reported blinding of outcome assessors. Strength of evidence for primary outcomes was considered moderate.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There was moderate-quality evidence that stretching is an effective strategy for improving knee total, flexion and extension ROM, and pain. Our findings suggest that stretching to regain joint ROM in OA is not futile and that stretching appears to be an appropriate conservative intervention to improve patient outcomes as part of a comprehensive knee OA treatment plan before arthroplasty.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/19417381221147281","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,24]],"date-time":"2023-01-24T01:46:27Z","timestamp":1674524787000},"page":"867-877","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Stretching, Bracing, and Devices for the Treatment of Osteoarthritis-Associated Joint Contractures in Nonoperated Joints: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"T.
