Objective. To investigate the efficacy of 4 weeks of preoperative and 4 weeks of postoperative progressive resistance training (PRT), compared to 4 weeks of postoperative PRT only on functional performance, muscle strength, and patient-reported outcomes in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods. In total, 59 patients were randomized to 4 weeks of preoperative PRT (intervention group) or to a group who lived as usual (control group). Both groups performed 4 weeks of PRT after TKA. At 6 weeks and 1 week before TKA, and at 1, 6, and 12 weeks after TKA, performance-based measures (30-second chair stand test [30sCST], timedup-and-go [TUG], and walking tests), knee extensor and flexor muscle strength (dynamometry), patient-reported functional performance, health-related quality of life, and pain scores were evaluated. Results. When comparing the changes from baseline to the primary test point 6 weeks after TKA, a significant group difference in favor of the intervention group was found for the 30sCST (2. Conclusion. Supervised preoperative PRT is an efficacious and safe intervention for improving postoperative functional performance and muscle strength, but improvements in patient-reported outcomes were not detected.

“…With the patient relaxed in the supine position, the circumference (centimeters to the nearest tenth) of the extended knee was measured 1 cm proximal of the base of the patella with use of the same tape measure in all patients (Figure 1B) [35]. The intra‐tester and intra‐day reliability of this measurement was recently reported to be excellent, with an ICC 2.1 of 0.98 and the smallest real difference of 0.95 to 1.00 cm [36].…”

“…In another study, joint aspiration and corticosteroid injection were performed in the rheumatoid arthritis patients. Statistically significant correlation was observed between the volume of fluid aspirated and the change in knee circumference 1 cm above the patella ( r = 0.88), but not from the midpatellar circumference ( r = 0.42), [60]. Synovial reaction to the blood distributes not only above but also around and below the patella.…”

Biotribological and biomechanical changes after experimental haemarthrosis in the rabbit knee

Summary. Changes in articular cartilage after haemarthrosis have not been completely elucidated in haemophilic arthropathy. Insights into the pathophysiological mechanisms of blood‐induced joint damage mainly derived from histological, inflammatory and biochemical investigations. A structure–function relationship is another reasonable way to determine the joint overall health status. Cartilage, a viscoelastic connective tissue, is at least a biphasic material that should also work under minimal friction. Pendulum friction tester measures the mechanical aspects of joint lubrication and quantifies the biotribological properties of the joint. Indentation test is an in situ method characterizing the biomechanical properties of the cartilage. Gross, biotribological and biomechanical properties were determined in a rabbit model of experimental haemarthrosis. A sample of 1 mL of fresh autologous blood was injected in the left knee of rabbit’s joint twice weekly for four consecutive weeks. The right knee and animals in the control group were left untreated. After 8 days, joint perimeter, biotribological and biomechanical tests were performed. In a consistent manner, all data showed detrimental effects of the blood on the overall cartilage function under loading. Non‐weight bearing and early blood aspiration seem wise to be considered after haemarthrosis.
