Effects of sensorimotor training volume on recovery of sensorimotor function in patients following lower limb arthroplasty
BACKGROUND Sensorimotor function is degraded in patients after lower limb arthroplasty. Sensorimotor training is thought to improve sensorimotor skills, however, the optimal training stimulus with regard to volume, frequency, duration, and intensity is still unknown. The aim of this study, therefore, was to firstly quantify the progression of sensorimotor function after total hip (THA) or knee ...
متن کاملA Telerehabilitation Framework for Lower-Limb Functional Recovery
Wearable devices are driving the development of post-surgery rehabilitation procedures, also helping in reducing the recovery time and social costs. This paper presents a real-time monitoring framework aimed at supporting telerehabilitation sessions for lower-limbs functional recovery. The presented framework supports patients during the execution of rehabilitation exercises by monitoring the l...
متن کاملWeight changes following lower limb arthroplasty: a prospective observational study.
The aim of this study was to assess patterns of weight loss/gain following total hip or knee joint replacement. Four hundred and fifty primary lower limb arthroplasty patients, where the current surgery was the last limiting factor to improved mobility, were selected. Over a one year period 212 gained weight (mean 5.03kg), 92 remained static, and 146 lost weight. The median change was a weight ...
متن کاملReducing surgical site infection in arthroplasty of the lower limb
OBJECTIVES To review the current best surgical practice and detail a multi-disciplinary approach that could further reduce joint replacement infection. METHODS Review of relevant literature indexed in PubMed. RESULTS Surgical site infection is a major complication following arthroplasty. Despite its rarity in contemporary orthopaedic practice, it remains difficult to treat and is costly in ...
متن کاملPredicting postoperative urinary retention after lower limb arthroplasty
A simple scoring system that enables surgeons to make an estimation of the likelihood of postoperative urinary retention (POUR) in patients undergoing lower limb total joint replacement would be a useful one. This would enable selection of high risk patients who merit pre-operative catheterisation in a clean theatre environment rather than risking urinary retention and its associated complicat...
