Comparison of Balance and Fall Risk in Unilateral and Bilateral Total Knee Arthroplasty

NCT04796519 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 45

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Static or dynamic postural control cannot be fully restored in patients with Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA). Moreover, deficits in balance and postural control may still be present in both extremity after TKA. However, the contralateral knee OA grade, asymmetrical gait pattern, and postural sways still remain a risk factor for balance deficits and falls. Based on this rationale, the aim of this study is to evaluate the balance and fall risk before and after TKA in patients who suffered from bilateral knee osteoarthritis and to clarify the balance and fall risk difference between unilateral and bilateral TKA patients.
