I have had success with stretching the opposite quad/hip flexor in prone and then retesting knee flex. on the tkr. I have also seen pts. walk much better after testing/treating the twist. My goal with most of my tkr pts. is getting them to understand that other parts of their bodies could be limiting their progress. The problem is that they have an idea of what "PT for my total knee" should be and they want the aggressive stretching of the bad side.
