“…Zheng analyzed the gait characteristics of patients with sciatica, and the abnormal gait features were clearly reflected [3]. Elbaz et al investigated the effect of a biomechanical therapy of patients after TKA through gait patterns analysis [4]. Dance movements system has been built by Shinoda et al [5], and a full-body database of human gesture was proposed by Hwang et al [6].…”

Abstract-There are differences between normal and abnormal gait performance. Gait analysis can help clinicians to evaluate the rehabilitation of disease. The aim of the paper is to establish a method of measuring gait features based on the optical motion capture device. This experiment was conducted on a young healthy male, who was asked to walk in the walkway back and forth in routine walking speed, so that the body data of walking in a natural state can be obtained. The motion trajectories of three markers (waist, knee and heel) were measured and the data were processed in MATLAB with the geometric mean. The results show that these gait curves have strong regularity, so that the human gait rule was obtained, which can be used for reference in clinical gait analysis.

Prognostic factors for inpatient functional recovery following total hip and knee arthroplasty: a systematic review

et al. 2020

Background and purpose — Essential for safe and timely hospital discharge, inpatient functional recovery following lower limb arthroplasty is also variable. A previous systematic review reported moderate and conflicting levels of evidence regarding patient-related predictors of inpatient recovery for primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). A systematic review of surgical prognostic factors for inpatient recovery following THA or total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is yet to be undertaken. We identified patient and surgical prognostic factors for inpatient functional recovery following THA and TKA; determined whether inpatient functional recovery varies between these procedures; and established whether validated outcome measures relevant to the patient’s functional requirements for hospital discharge are routinely assessed. Patients and methods — Critical Appraisal Skills Programme checklists assessed methodological quality, and a best-evidence synthesis approach determined the levels of evidence supporting individual prognostic factors. PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, Scopus, and PEDro databases were searched from inception to May 2019. Included studies examined patient or surgical prognostic factors and a validated measure of post-operative function within 2 weeks of primary, unilateral THA or TKA. Results — Comorbidity status and preoperative function are supported by a strong level of evidence for TKA. For THA, no strong level of evidence was found for patient-related prognostic factors, and no surgical factors were independently prognostic for either arthroplasty site. Limited evidence supports fast-track protocols in the TKA population. Interpretation — Preoperative screening and optimization is recommended. Assessment of Enhanced Recovery Pathways using validated outcome measures appropriate for the early postoperative period is warranted.

Background: Home-based rehabilitation (HBR) was previously found to be associated with positive outcomes that are equal to inpatient rehabilitation. Few studies have examined the challenges patients are facing during rehabilitation and recovery and their satisfaction from HBR. Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the overall satisfaction and reported outcomes of HBR. Methods: A telephone survey was conducted among 146 orthopedic surgery patients who participated in an HBR program, at the end of the HBR and 6 months after. The questionnaire included information about level of independence, satisfaction from HBR, and difficulties during HBR. Findings: The overall satisfaction was high (73.1%). Patients reported on improvements in level of independence between the time of hospital discharge, the end of the program ( P = .0001), and the 6 months follow-up ( P = .004). Long wait for beginning of HBR, being a widower, and residing in a facility or with a nonfamilial caregiver were associated significantly with less general well-being and independence. The repeated measures analysis showed age lower than 71 and private health insurance ownership were associated with a better recovery. The most common difficulties reported were physical difficulties, lack of function, and caregivers’ burden. Conclusions: Patients and families need more emotional, social, and physical support during HBR. The increase in health services delivered in community settings requires a more clear-cut policy and supervision for HBR and the follow-up services.
