Trial Outcomes & Findings for Home Rehabilitation in Patients After Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty (NCT NCT02409719)

NCT ID: NCT02409719

Last Updated: 2019-12-19

Results Overview

The total score is provided for Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC). It is a widely score used in the evaluation of Hip and Knee Osteoarthritis. Consists of a self-administered questionnaire consisting of 24 items divided into 3 subscales: pain (5 items), stiffness (2 items), and physical functioning (17 items) of the joints. * Scale Range: 5 items of pain (score range 0-20), 2 items for stiffness (score range 0-8), and 17 items for functional limitation (score range 0-68). The test questions are scored on a scale of 0-4, which correspond to: None (0), Mild (1), Moderate (2), Severe (3), and Extreme (4). Total WOMAC score range 0-96. * For each subscale higher values represent worse outcomes. * Subscales are summed for a total WOMAC score. Higher scores on the WOMAC indicate worse pain, stiffness, and functional limitations. WOMAC Index was developed in 1982 at Western Ontario and McMaster Universities.

The Oxford Knee Score is a 12-item patient-reported outcome specifically designed and developed to assess function and pain after total knee replacement (TKR) surgery (arthroplasty). It is short, reproducible, valid and sensitive to clinically important changes. Consists of 12 multiple choice questions consisting of five answers with a maximum score of 60. Score ranges * Score 0 to 19: May indicate severe knee arthritis. It is highly likely that you may well require some form of surgical intervention, contact your family physician for a consult with an Orthopaedic Surgeon. * Score 20 to 29: May indicate moderate to severe knee arthritis. See your family physician for an assessment and x-ray. Consider a consult with an Orthopaedic Surgeon. * Score 30 to 39: May indicate mild to moderate knee arthritis. Consider seeing your family physician for an assessment and possible x-ray. You may benefit from non-surgical treatment, such as exercise, weight loss, and /or anti-inflammatory med
