Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Aim of the present study is twofold.

* First we want to evaluate the effect of mobilization on acute postoperative pain
* Second to test weather chances in pain sensitivity are occurring following surgery and mobilization after total knee arthroplasty

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Little is known about the effect of mobilization on acute postoperative pain and mobilization induced pain, and if altered pain sensitivity occur under these circumstances.

* First we want to evaluate the effect of mobilization on acute postoperative pain using the visual analog scale (VAS)
* Second to test weather chances in pain sensitivity are occurring following surgery and mobilization after total knee arthroplasty, using two simple tools, the Pain Matcher and a Pressure Algometer.
