Does contralateral knee range of motion predict postoperative knee range of motion after total knee arthroplasty?

factors influencing range of motion after total knee arthroplasty

Effect of continuous passive motion on knee flexion range of motion after total knee arthroplasty.

OBJECTIVE To compare mean knee flexion in patients on continuous passive motion and those without it after total knee arthroplasty. METHODS The randomised controlled study was conducted at Aga Khan University Hospital, from July 2013 to June 2014, and comprised patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty. Patients were randomly assigned to either group, with Group A receiving standardised ...

Target range of motion for rehabilitation after total knee arthroplasty

Objective: Postoperative knee range of motion (ROM) is among the most important factors influencing patient satisfaction after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of this study was to clarify the time course of improvement in knee ROM up to 12 months after TKA, including intraoperative knee ROM after implantation, and to clarify a target ROM for rehabilitation after TKA. Patients and Met...

Factors Influencing Range of Motion after Total Knee Arthroplasty

BACKGROUND The range of motion after a total knee arthroplasty is an important clinical outcome affecting the life of the patient. The aim of this study was to determine the most important factors influencing the postoperative knee flexion in Tehran, Iran. METHODS Between July 2007 and January 2009, on 95 cases of total knee joint replacement (89 patients), who were followed for 1 year postop...

Accuracy of knee range of motion assessment after total knee arthroplasty.

Measurement of knee joint range of motion (ROM) is important to assess after total knee arthroplasty. Our objective was to determine level of agreement and accuracy between observers with different knowledge on total ROM after total knee arthroplasty. Forty-one patients underwent x-ray of active and passive knee ROM (gold standard). Five different raters evaluated observed and measured ROM: ort...
