Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Static or dynamic postural control cannot be fully restored in patients with Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA). Moreover, deficits in balance and postural control may still be present in both extremity after TKA. However, the contralateral knee OA grade, asymmetrical gait pattern, and postural sways still remain a risk factor for balance deficits and falls. Based on this rationale, the aim of this study is to evaluate the balance and fall risk before and after TKA in patients who suffered from bilateral knee osteoarthritis and to clarify the balance and fall risk difference between unilateral and bilateral TKA patients.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Falls are one of the leading causes of increased morbidity and mortality in the elderly population and are substantial contributor to increase healthcare cost burden. Pain, strength deficits, knee joint deformities, balance and proprioceptive impairments associated with severe knee OA, contribute to an increased risk of falling among elderly, and more than 50% of this population experience a fall each year. Static or dynamic postural control cannot be fully restored in patients with Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA). Moreover, deficits in balance and postural control may still be present in both extremity after TKA. Increased weight-bearing on the operative side after TKA and reduced weight-bearing weight in the contralateral osteoarthritic knee can reduce pain and improve balance-related functions. However, the contralateral knee OA grade, asymmetrical gait pattern, and postural sways still remain a risk factor for balance deficits and falls. Based on this rationale, the aim of this study is to evaluate the balance and fall risk before and after TKA in patients who suffered from bilateral knee osteoarthritis and to clarify the balance and fall risk difference between unilateral and bilateral TKA patients.
