Functional Recovery After Total Knee Arthroplasty

NCT02156453 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 80

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Total knee replacement is one of the most successful surgical procedures in Orthopaedics. However, 10-20% of the patients are still dissatisfied with the results of the surgery. In general, the evaluation of postoperative functional outcomes are usually measured by self-report questionnaires, such as the Western Ontario and Mcmaster Universities osteoarthritic Index (WOMAC) and the Short Form-36 health survey (SF-36). Another method to evaluate functional outcome of the patients is to use the performance-based tests such as the two-minute walk test, but there is still little information regarding its use for evaluating functional recovery in patients receiving total knee arthroplasty.

The objectives this study are: 1) to assess the relationship between self-report questionnaires and performance-based tests among patients scheduling for TKA; and 2) to identify clinical variables that are associated with pre- and postoperative functional performance of the patients.
