Summary

Knee osteoarthritis produces degeneration and joint wear that greatly affects the patient's proprioceptive system increasing instability. After total knee arthroplasty intervention, it is recommended that the patient performs a rehabilitation procedure to minimize deficits caused by surgery. In this job it is essential to insist on the importance of recovering balance after total knee arthroplasty intervention, and assess a specifically designed protocol to restore its function. An intervention which includes a dynamometric platform as a training method was proposed. The randomized clinical trial compared a control group that performed balance exercises on parallel bars, unstable plates, ramps and stairs against an experimental group that included dynamometric platforms training as a differentiator.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Functional Recovery

Rehabilitation protocol based on muscle strengthening with isometric, isotonic and counter-resistance with progressive load exercises. Intervention consisted of warm-up phase with passive, active-assisted and active movements, and a work-out phase

OTHER

Balance Training

Balance and proprioception training using parallel bars, unstable plates, ramps and stairs

OTHER

Dynamometric Platform Training

Stability tests, weight changes and stability limits, performing both anterior-posterior and medial-lateral movements simultaneously in some cases
