Histograms showing changes in passive knee extension ROMs. a ROM before myotomy of knee flexor muscles (ROM+m). Joint immobilization induced ROM+m restrictions in both Im and Im + CBX groups. Celecoxib partially prevented the ROM+m restriction induced by joint immobilization. b ROM after myotomy of knee flexor muscles (ROM-m). Joint immobilization induced ROM-m restrictions in both Im and Im + CBX groups. Celecoxib did not change ROM-m restriction induced by joint immobilization. (Experimental side (Rt), ■; Contralateral side (Lt), □). † P < 0.05 vs. contralateral side of the same group; # P < 0.05 vs. ipsilateral side of Im group. Data are expressed as means ± SD (n = 10)
