The effects of preoperative balance training on balance and functional outcome after total knee replacement: a randomized controlled trial.
2019
Objective: To assess the effects of preoperative balance training on the early postoperative balance and functional outcomes after total knee replacement surgery and to test whether an outpatient intervention may be as effective as a domiciliary intervention. Design: This is a three-arm randomized controlled trial. Setting: University hospital. Subjects: Eighty-six individuals were recruited. Seventy-seven were analysed, aged 72.1 (SD 7.6) years, of which 68% were women. Outcome measures: Overall state of balance, as measured with the Berg Balance Scale, and patient-perceived functionality, as measured with the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score Function in Activities in Daily Liv…
Sensorimotor training prior total knee arthroplasty and effects on functional outcome: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
2021
Abstract Background Altered muscle activation patterns and proprioception, loss of strength, and weight bearing asymmetries are common limitations after total knee arthroplasty, which can also affect balance. Therefore, preoperative sensorimotor training has been proposed to enhance surgical outcome. Research question Is preoperative sensorimotor training effective in improving functional outcome in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty? Does preoperative sensorimotor training affect secondary outcomes such as balance, pain, and quality of life? Methods A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted by searching PEDro, MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Scopus databases from…
Preferred Outcome Measures Used in Randomized Clinical Trials of Total Knee Replacement Rehabilitation: A Systematic Review.
2020
Objective To determine the most frequently used outcome measures in total knee replacement rehabilitation trials. Literature survey Systematic review of randomized trials searched in five databases: Web of Science, MEDical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System, Physiotherapy Evidence Database, Scopus, and Cochrane Library. Methodology Trials were included if participants underwent total knee replacement rehabilitation and outcome measures were used to assess rehabilitation outcomes. A descriptive synthesis determined the frequency of using outcome measures and preferred assessment time points. Outcomes were classified into eight categories: patient- and clinician-reported function, perfo…
