This source presents the 2018 revision of clinical practice guidelines for knee pain and mobility impairments resulting from meniscal and articular cartilage lesions, primarily focusing on postsurgical care. It outlines evidence-based recommendations for physical therapy, covering diagnosis, examination methods (including outcome, physical performance, and physical impairment measures), and interventions like progressive motion, weight-bearing, and therapeutic exercises. The guidelines aim to standardize care by classifying conditions, identifying effective interventions, and providing appropriate outcome measures for musculoskeletal disorders. The document details the methodology for evidence grading and provides dissemination strategies for these guidelines.(Logerstedt DS, Scalzitti DA, Bennell KL, Hinman RS, Silvers-Granelli H, Ebert J, et al.
