Assessing the feasibility of using the short physical performance battery to measure function in the immediate postoperative period after total knee replacement

Abstract: Measurements of physical function after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are uncertain and require investments for special equipment, space, and staff. Therefore, we evaluated the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) 4 to 6 weeks preoperatively and 2 weeks following TKA as this test battery addresses lower extremity strength, coordination, and balance, without additional special investments. For context, we also employed the Six-Minute Walk test (6MWT) and peak torque knee extension. Our analysis consisted o… Show more

“…Hyaline cartilage in the knee is an important tissue which, due to avascularity, does not heal spontaneously after injury and often requires surgical intervention. OA of the knee is a major cause of disability worldwide [ 2 ], causing significant burden on healthcare systems [ 3 ]. The lifetime risk of developing symptomatic knee OA is approximately 45%, with a higher risk being associated with obesity (60.5%) and advancing age [ 4 ].…”

“…Przkora et al. beschreiben in ihrer Machbarkeitsstudie zum Mobilitätsassessment bei geriatrischen Patienten 2 Wochen nach elektiver Knie-TEP-Implantation eine Verschlechterung der SPPB um 4,8 Punkte im Vergleich zu den präoperativen Ausgangswerten [ 28 ]. Die initiale Verschlechterung der Mobilität in der Frühphase nach Gelenkersatz konnte in der aktuellen Studie nachvollzogen werden, jedoch fiel diese deutlich geringer aus und war bereits eine Woche postoperativ nicht mehr vorhanden (Abb.…”
