Alterations in lower limb multimuscle activation patterns during stair climbing in female total knee arthroplasty patients.

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients commonly experience neuromuscular adaptations that may affect stair climbing competence. This study identified multimuscle pattern (MMP) changes in postoperative female TKA patients during stair climbing with a support vector machine (SVM). It was hypothesized that TKA patients adopt temporal and spectral muscle activation characteristics indicative of mus...

Self-reported chair-rise ability relates to stair-climbing readiness of total knee arthroplasty patients: a pilot study.

Following total knee arthroplasty (TKA), physical therapists must evaluate patient readiness to safely begin stair-climbing. Physical therapists might find self-reported chair-rise ability useful in determining stair-climbing readiness of patients. We grouped 31 subjects who were at approximately 3.6 weeks post-TKA by chair-rise ability (group 1 = "Because of my knee, I can only rise from a cha...

The Relationship between Clinical Measures and Stair Climbing Biomechanics in Patients with Total Knee Arthroplasty

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a generally successful surgical procedure to treat end-stage knee osteoarthritis; however, suboptimal outcomes, including difficulty stair climbing, do occur [1]. Clinicians use the stair climbing test (SCT) to track functional status, where a patient ascends and descends a flight of stairs as fast as possible and a faster time suggests better function and incre...

Altered loading during walking and sit-to-stand is affected by quadriceps weakness after total knee arthroplasty.

PURPOSE Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) successfully reduces pain, but has not achieved comparable improvements in function. We hypothesized that quadriceps strength affects performance by altering loading and movement patterns during functional tasks. METHODS Fourteen subjects with isolated, unilateral TKA were tested three months after surgery. Quadriceps strength was assessed isometrically a...

Influence of Hip Abductor Strength on Functional Outcomes Before and After Total Knee Arthroplasty: Post Hoc Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is associated with declines in hip abductor (HA) muscle strength; however, a longitudinal analysis demonstrating the influence of TKA on trajectories of HA strength change has not been conducted. Objective The purpose of this study was to quantify changes in HA strength from pre-TKA through 3 months post-TKA and to characterize the relationship between...
