Core Tip	This study presents an innovative integration of neurodynamic mobilization into conventional rehabilitation protocols for post-traumatic knee osteoarthritis, examining its effects on lower limb function in patients with mild post-traumatic knee osteoarthritis. An eight-week randomized controlled trial demonstrated that neurodynamic mobilization effectively alleviates pain, improves knee function, and enhances lower limb balance in these patients. These findings highlight the unique value of this technique in sensory-motor function restoration for early-stage traumatic knee osteoarthritis.
