Summary

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is recognized as a successful procedure for treating osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. One important factor that make the successful surgery is the degree of knee flexion. Providing more range of motion after TKA impact on the convenience of daily of life such as climbing stairs, sitting on the floor particularly in Asian cultures which require a lot of ground activities. Data are limited on the added benefits of perioperative photograph as motivation for increasing range of motion after TKA.

Half of participants received perioperative photograph as motivation, while the other half did not after total knee arthroplasty.

Conditions

  • Osteoarthritis, Knee

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Received perioperative photograph

All participants in experimental group were adviced to see periopertive knee photograph before rehabilitation everyday. Postoperative knee ROM were recorded at day 3, 6 week, 3 month and 6 month. Flexion and extension angle were measured with long arm goniometer. The outcome assessors were blinded to treatment groups.

PROCEDURE

Didn't receive perioperative photograph

All participants in active comparator group didn't receive perioperative knee photograph. Postoperative knee ROM were recorded at day 3, 6 week, 3 month and 6 month. Flexion and extension angle were measured with long arm goniometer. The outcome assessors were blinded to treatment groups.
