“…The test consists of the following phases (figure 2D): (1) the patient completes the initial Romberg test with open eyes for 30 s; (2) the device emits a sound, and at that moment, the patient must start a walk through a 3 m corridor in a straight line, in the direction of a chair; (3) seating and rising: upon reaching the end of the walking corridor, the patient has to sit down and get up from a chair; and (4) the patient walks in the opposite direction until they reach the starting position of the test. 23 Gait A 10 m-long, straight, flat walkway is used for gait assessment. The biomechanical model consists of a simplified Open access gait model implemented in the sagittal plane on the right and left sides.…”

IntroductionEven when total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is an extended treatment, most patients experience a suboptimal evolution after TKA. The objectives of this study are the following: (1) to determine the effectiveness of two different prosthesis stabilisation systems on the functionality in activities of daily life, and (2) to determine prognostic biomarkers of knee prosthesis function based on radiological information, quantification of cytokines, intra-articular markers and biomechanical functional evaluation to predict successful evolution.Methods and analysisThe PROKnee trial was designed as a randomised controlled patient-blinded trial with two parallel groups that are currently ongoing. The initial recruitment will be 99 patients scheduled for their first TKA, without previous prosthesis interventions in lower limbs, who will be randomly divided into two groups that differed in the stabilisation methodology incorporated in the knee prosthesis: the MEDIAL-pivot group and the CENTRAL-pivot group. The maximum walking speed will be reported as the primary outcome, and the secondary results will be patient-reported questionnaires related to physical status, cognitive and mental state, radiological test, laboratory analysis and biomechanical instrumented functional performance, such as the 6-minute walking test, timed up-and-go test, gait, sit-to-stand, step-over, and ability to step up and down stairs. All the results will be measured 1 week before TKA and at 1.5, 3, 6 and 12 months after surgery.Ethics and disseminationAll procedures were approved by the Ethical Committee for Research with Medicines of the University Clinical Hospital of Valencia on 8 October 2020 (order no. 2020/181). Participants are required to provide informed consent for the study and for the surgical procedure. All the data collected will be treated confidentially since they will be blinded and encrypted. The results from the trial will be published in international peer-reviewed scientific journals, regardless of whether these results are negative or inconclusive.Trial registration numberClinicalTrials.gov Registry (NCT04850300).

“…There have been several reports concerning the use of FallSkip within the past four years in different patient groups.The first studies involved the patients suffering from sarcopenia, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. There has not been any information concerning the use of this equipment in the assessment of cardiac patients yet [10][11][12].…”

Introduction: Balance and coordination disorders are factors provoking falls in the elderly. Their fast and precise identification is therefore of vital importance. The aim of study was to assess the risk of falls and the influence of early hospital rehabilitation on the balance and coordination parameters in patients after cardiac surgery. Material and methods:The study was conducted on 207 patients: 44 women and 163 men (mean age 60.2 ± 14.0), who participated in cardiac rehabilitation following cardiac surgery. The risk of falls were tested twice with the use of the FallSkip device: after the initial mobilization and before the discharge. Results: After rehabilitation, improvement was noted in the whole group in all analyzed functional parameters and in the reduction of the risk of falls (p<0.0001). A significantly higher risk of falls was observed in women in comparison with men (p 70 in comparison with patients aged <70 (p<0.001). After rehabilitation the risk of falls decreased significantly in men (p<0.001) and in individuals aged <70, (p<0.001), as well as in patients with the BMI <30, p 30, p<0.012. There was a tendency for better results in men in all tested parameters. Conclusions: Rehabilitation after cardiac surgery significantly improved the effectiveness of gait, time of reaction in response to audio stimuli, increased muscular strength of lower limbs and significantly reduced the risk of falls. The FallSkip equipment is useful in the assessment of the risk of falls in patients after cardiac surgery.
