Purpose: This study was conducted to Evaluate the effect of low load prolonged stretch vs. high load brief stretch in knee contracture post burn . Subjects: Thirty patients with Knee contracture post burn injury ,their age ranged from 25 to 45 years old were conducted in current study they were selected from Om Al-masreen Hospital, and kasr al-ainy Hospital. Methods: They were assigned randomly into two groups (A and B) equal in number: Group (A) consisted of 15 patients who received low load prolonged stretch using weights (sand bags) 3 times/ week for 4 successful weeks. Group (B) consisted of 15 patients who received manual stretch 3 times/week for 4 successful weeks. Evaluations of both groups (A and B) were done before starting the treatment and at the end of study after 4 weeks through Goniometer and Foot print to measure range of motion and cadence pre and post treatment. Results: This study showed a statistically difference in knee joint ROM and cadence between both groups. Conclusion: The present study concluded that low load prolonged stretch is more effective than high load brief stretch in treatment of knee contracture after burn
