Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
This study will be conducted to investigate the effect of low level laser therapy on the following: 1.Pain intensity level after total knee arthroplasty. 2.Level of knee swelling after total knee arthroplasty. 3.Range of motion of the knee after total knee arthroplasty. 4.Functional abilities of patients after total knee arthroplasty. 5.Length of time for returning to full functional activity	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
