Summary

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of a 6-week supervised high-intensity preoperative training program on muscle strength, functional performance and patient-reported outcomes in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Methods: Eighty-eight patients scheduled for unilateral TKA for severe osteoarthritis (OA) were randomly allocated to intervention group (N=44) completed a 6-week preoperative training program, 5 days per week prior to surgery and to control group (N=44) who lived as usual. Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), the Physical Functioning Scale of the Short Form-36 questionnaire (SF-36), Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), quadriceps strength, 20 meters walk test and 30 seconds chair stand test were assessed at 6 weeks before surgery (T0), after 6 weeks of preoperative training / preoperatively (T1), 4 weeks (T2) and finally 12 weeks (T3) after TKA.

Preoperative training program

Patients of intervention group (N=44) followed a 6-week supervised high-intensity preoperative training program. They had a session of preoperative resistance training five days per week for a period of 6 weeks before TKA. Each session was supervised by a physiotherapist specifically trained in progressive resistance training. The duration of each session was approximately 60 minutes. If a participant missed a training session, it was attempted to substitute the session on an alternative day.
