Summary

The aim of this study is to clarify the effectiveness and the usefulness of the anti-gravity treadmill in postoperative rehabilitation after knee arthroplasty. The investigators will compare anti-gravity treadmill rehabilitation and the traditional postoperative rehabilitation with instructions.

The investigators will assume that anti-gravity treadmill exercise after hospitalization will lead to the faster rehabilitation, better walking quality and balance management compared to traditional rehabilitation methods with instructions, where patient themselves do the exercises at home. Additionally, the investigators will assume that quality of life and physical activity will be more increased in the anti-gravity group than in the traditional rehabilitation.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Rehabilitation with or without Anti-Gravity Treadmill

The study will include patients with grade III-IV primary knee osteoarthritis. The investigators will take 27 patients to the both groups. The investigators will look after more specifically the anti-gravity treadmill rehabilitation and traditional rehabilitation after arthroplasty. Follow-up is one year. Functional tests will be made and questionnaires will be given to the patients before operation and after operation. After 6 to 8 weeks, 4 months and 12 months of operation questionnaires will be fil up again. After six month the investigators will send a questionnaire and there will be asked possible rehabilitation sessions, use of drugs and possible complications after knee arthroplasty.
