Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Aerobic activity is found to have a beneficial effect on pain threshold and pain tolerance in healthy subjects and in chronic pain syndromes. Researches indicate that single bout of aerobic effort increase pain threshold and pain tolerance and decrease pain severity for 15-30 minutes. Until now, the effect of a one-time aerobic effort has not been tested on subjects suffering from acute pain following surgical intervention.
This trail will examine the immediate effect of single aerobic effort on clinical and experimental pain, active knee range of motion and function among people with acute pain after total knee replacement.
40 subjects undergoing total knee replacement at the medical Center for Galilee as a result of Osteoarthritis in one of they knee, will be recruited to the study. The study will take place during the hospitalization in the 5th and 6th days after surgery. In those 2 days the subjects will participate in two meetings: in one session, the participants will be asked to perform active pedaling for 20 minutes in their upper limbs of a pulse that will be calculated approximately 60% of their maximum predictive pulse. in the second meeting the participants will perform passive training with their upper limbs for the same duration. The order of interventions will be randomly determined. Before and after the intervention, it will be examined by pain measures (pressure pain threshold, spontaneous pain perception and arousal pain by the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scale), at rest, in a sitting-standing-sitting transfers, while carrying an equal weight on both feet and while walking. the active range of motion of the operated knee, and functional measures - 10 Meters walk Test and Timed Up and Go test.
