Summary

This study aims to evaluate the effect of preoperative patient education program on functional mobility, gait, postural control, and kinesiophobia level in subjects with TKA. Patients of both gender will be recruited unilaterally in the city of Florianopolis and referred by an orthopedist to the Physiotherapy Clinic of UDESC. They are divided into two groups: one that will receive verbal guidance and a booklet with related information such as your physical condition as well as signs and symptoms in the postoperative period and a group that will receive only verbal guidance.Both groups will be evaluated by a blind evaluator in the preoperative and postoperative periods (6 weeks and 6 months). The evaluations will be divided into five stages. Anthropometric measurements of the individual will be made and then the WOMAC functionality questionnaire and the Kinesiophobia Cover Scale will be applied.Then the individual will walk for 5 meters for three-dimensional gait analysis and electromyographic analysis of the quadriceps and femoral biceps. The evaluation of functional mobility by Timed Up And Go and assessment of postural control in an equilibrium platform will also be performed. Statistical data will be analyzed by analysis of variance 3x2 considering factor time (pre, post 6 weeks and post 6 months) and groups (with and without information leaflet). The value of p will be 0.05.
