STAK APPLICATIONS

WORKING WITH HOSPITALS THROUGHOUT THE UK.

STAK improveS patient outcomes & reduceS recovery times.

STAK Orthopaedics are pleased to be working with a number of hospitals across the UK. Hospitals can request STAKs on long-term trial hire at special rates, please get in touch to find out more

The STAK knee rehabilitation tool is supported by clinical trial and NICE review and has proved progress in both flexion and extension. We have also seen gains of up to 50° knee flexion and a significant reduction in pain in severe cases following MUA or revision surgery. The STAK is currently being used in both NHS and private hospitals.

Pictured is Dr Sara Aspinall (Founder) and Orthopaedic Knee Specialist Consultant Steven Godsiff who works at University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust, Spire and Nuffield Hospitals. He has been involved in the STAK treatment programs from the beginning.

Steve refers patients who struggle to make progress following knee replacement or simply seek greater satisfaction and function from their knee. A STAK training video for physiotherapy staff is available and I’m happy to provide further information and demonstrations of the STAK tool via Teams meetings.

“IT’S A GREAT TOOL COMPARED TO STANDARD PHYSIO. THERE’S FAR GREATER PATIENT ENGAGEMENT.”

Mr Randeep Aujla, Consultant Orthopaedic Knee Surgeon

The STAK tool can help with patients after recent surgery or even many years after surgery.

"We are so impressed with the results of the STAK tool to treat arthrofibrosis after TKR"

Mr Steven Godsiff, Consultant Orthopaedic Knee Surgeon, UHL NHS Trust

"It’s just a fantastic, low cost and really effective alternative treatment compared to the traditional treatments we had before. Since we have been using the STAK tool the MUA rates have fallen"

It's a simple thing to do a few times a day for a few minutes with excellent functional results

Professor Robert Ashford Consultant Musculoskeletal Tumour & Joint Reconstruction Surgeon

The STAK tool provides a measurable outcome improvement. The patients get and maintain extra functions over and above what they normally get.

The STAK tool saved her going through surgery (MUA)

Mr Kareem Elsorafy Orthopaedic Surgeon, University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust

She only had 62° flexion, I spoke about the STAK and I was surprised that she had reached 108° flexion just a few weeks later

OUR PATIENTS RESULTS SO FAR…

The results include patients treated anywhere from a few weeks after surgery for as long as 8 years. It’s never too late.

The mean range of movement prior to the STAK was 72° (range 27 to 110 °) mean gain following STAK treatment (4-8 weeks) is 32° (range 12-60°).

We can provide training for your surgeons and physiotherapists if you would like to pilot the STAK contact us…

Greater range of movement and satisfaction for your patients in a shorter time.

The STAK enables arthrofibrosis patients to regain their range of movement and function whilst also reducing pain and stiffness.

The STAK also demonstrates significant improvements in extension range and reduction in oedema. Experts believe the STAK high-intensity stretching programme is having a beneficial anti-inflammatory effect on the tissues.

The STAK tool is highly effective in treating the most severe arthrofibrosis cases giving patients their quality of life back, even when expensive manipulation under anaesthetic and revision surgery has failed.

The STAK tool allows patients to administer high-intensity treatment daily in the comfort of their home, the STAK is both self-motivating and empowering giving patients the best possible outcomes for their knee.

In a clinical trial lasting 8 weeks, arthrofibrosis patients using the STAK gained on average 30 degrees range of movement compared to patients receiving standard physiotherapy who gained only 8 degrees.
