Abstract
Background: Although total #kneearthroplasty (TKA) reliably
reduces pain and improves knee function, several months are needed for
the
damaged quadriceps muscles to recover to preoperative strength. Patients
with weak muscle strength often use a walking aid to prevent from
falling after TKA. The aim of this study is to investigate the
#biomechanicaleffect of contralateral cane use on the knee and trunk
movement in
patients after TKA.
Methods: Twenty people with knee osteoarthritis scheduled to
undergo unilateral TKA were enrolled in the study. The movements of knee
joint and trunk were measured using three-dimensional motion analysis
during walking. The kinematic and #kineticvariables were statistically
compared between aided walking and unaided walking using two-tailed
paired t-tests.
