[Purpose] The purpose of this study is to provide fundamental information for efficient management of patients after a total knee replacement (TKR) through the evaluation of changes of range of motion, pain, functional level, and quality of life. [Subjects and Methods] For a total of 63 knee osteoarthritis patients, VAS, KSKS, KSFS, HSS, WOMAC scores and quality of life were evaluated for functional levels at pre-operation, post-operation, six months after operation, and 12 months after operation. [Results] After the TKR operations, participants showed significant improvement in KSKS, KSFS, WOMAC, and SF-36 scores when compared to pre-operation. [Conclusion] After a TKR operation, ROM, and pain management, along with a therapeutic program for improvement of function, should be conducted 6 months after the operation.

“…A minimum followup of 6 months was required. The minimum time was chosen owing to evidence indicating that improvement at 6 months has been shown to be an approximation for improvement at 12 months [22,29,43] and 24 months [40]. Studies that reported results of TKA together with other types of replacement surgery, including THA or unicompartmental knee arthroplasty, were included if the data for TKA outcomes could be isolated.…”

Background A subgroup of patients undergoing TKA is unhappy with the outcome of surgery and preoperative psychological factors may play a role in their dissatisfaction. Questions/purposes We asked whether (1) psychological factors, as measured by preoperative self-reported questionnaires, predicted poor outcome after TKA, and (2) whether certain psychological factors examined predicted poor outcome better than others. Methods We performed a systematic review and metaanalysis of prospective observational studies published in MEDLINE, CINAHL 1 , EMBASE TM , and PsycINFO 1 databases from their date of inception to October 2013, augmented with a manual search of bibliographies. Study eligibility was performed according to an a priori protocol. Included studies were assessed for quality according to the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. Two reviewers independently performed the search, identified eligible studies, assessed their methodologic quality, and extracted data. Outcomes of interest included postoperative dissatisfaction, pain, or limited function of the patients.

“…The aging of the population is likely to raise demand for both primary total hip arthroplasty and revision procedures (Birrell, Johnell, & Silman, 1999;Rissanen et al, 1997;Williams et al, 1994). With the increasing focus on patient-reported outcomes, such as functioning and quality of life, numerous PROMs have been developed to measure procedure outcomes (Ethgen, Bruy ere, Richy, Dardennes, & Reginster, 2004).

Clinical Psychology: Science and Practice

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Psychological assessment in the medical setting presents many opportunities and challenges. On the question of what constitutes empirically supported assessment practice, there are few clear answers and perhaps fewer exemplars. The goal of this article was not to review the current status of empirically supported assessment in medical settings, but rather to highlight some areas of measurement innovation that may move this field toward its promise of a more stable evidence base supporting the use of patient-reported outcome measures for clinical research, patient education, and clinical care. In addition, assessment in the medical setting provides one very unique opportunity that many psychologists are not honed in on: the use of psychological assessment to assess quality health care. This is an emerging reality that poses significant methodological puzzles and opens doors for those committed to psychological assessment.

Health-Related Quality of Life after Total Knee Replacement or Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty in an Urban Asian Population

Abstract: Both TKR and UKA patients experienced significant improvements in HRQoL, particularly in the role physical and pain domains. After controlling for potential confounding variables, the type of surgery was not a significant predictor of patients' postoperative HRQoL scores.
