Postoperative physiotherapy30312ResultsStudy InclusionThe initial search returned 675 published articles. After removing all duplicates, the number was reduced to 523 articles. A further 482 articles were excluded by screening the title (n=83) and abstract (n=41). By reading through the final 41 articles and applying the inclusion criteria, a total of 6 articles were included for analysis. No additional articles were included through manual searching reference lists of the included articles. The performed search is summarized in the PRISMA flow diagram (Fig. 1). Because of to the lack of sufficient data and impossibility to achieve the raw study data, the authors could not conduct a meta-analysis of the included articles. Instead the statistical results of each study included in this systematic review were analyzed and compared where possible. fifffflffifl ffi ffifl ffi ffiffi ffi ffiffi fi ffiflffi flffi fl ffi ffi ffi ffi ffi flffi fl ffi ffi ffi ffi ffi ff ffi ffiflffi fl fifffflffiflfflfifffflffiflffl
