Twenty-four-week hospital-based progressive resistance training on functional recovery in female patients post total knee arthroplasty

Effectiveness and therapeutic validity of physiotherapeutic exercise starting within one year following total and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty for osteoarthritis: a systematic review

“…The 6-min walk test (6MWT) [33-35, 42, 43, 52, 55, 60] and the Timed Up and Go test (TUG) [33, 41, 44, 51, 58-60, 62, 64] were used in most studies to measure functional performance. Other studies measured and reported functional performance using subjects' maximal walking speed [38,39,49,51,59,64], the stair-climbing test [33,35,42,44,49,60,67], single-leg stance test [38, 49-51, 56, 60, 67, 68], figure-of-eight test [35,42,67,68], functional reach test [58,59], 10-min walk test [41,50,62], 30-s chair test [42,44,60], Berg balance scale [45,58], and subjects' step cadence [49,66]. The 50-foot walking test was reported in one article [36].…”

“…The majority (32%) of the physiotherapeutic exercises the IG received were landbased and performed in the patient's home environment [32,39,40,45,48,51,52,61,63,64,67,68]. The physiotherapeutic exercises given to the IG were mostly inpatient (30%) [36-38, 41, 44, 47, 57, 59, 60, 62, 65], and to a lesser amount outpatient (19%) [34,35,42,46,50,53,58]. In 16% of the studies, the intervention received was both outpatient and home-based [33,43,[54][55][56]66].…”

“…Also, 3% did not report the setting of the given physiotherapeutic exercises for the IG [49]. The CGs received their interventions mostly in outpatient settings (30%) [34,35,40,48,50,51,53,58,61,62,67], followed by inpatient settings (27%) [36-38, 41, 44, 47, 49, 57, 59, 60] and homebased settings (16%) [32,39,42,54,55,66]. In 11% of the articles, the CG received both outpatient and homebased interventions [33,43,46,56], while in 3% of studies a combination of inpatient and home-based interventions [45] was used.…”

Osteoarthritis Progression: Mitigation and Rehabilitation Strategies

“…Results of studies using other functional outcomes such as 6 min walk test (6 MWT) appear to be inconsistent. Some authors purport no change following PRT ( 106 , 107 ), while others illustrate improvements, but suffer from lack of comparison to a usual care group ( 108 , 109 ). In general, it appears that quadriceps strength is correlated with the 6 MWT ( 110 ), but more data are needed.…”

Postoperative Rehabilitation Part I: Strategies and Protocol to Avoid Complications and Return to Daily Activities in Postoperative Weeks 1–12

“…The APTA also described prognostic factors that could have an effect on postoperative outcomes, including body mass index, depression, preoperative physical findings, age, gender, use of tobacco products, patient support systems, and comorbidities, and these are shown in Table 6.3 [12]. Nearly all clinical rehabilitation studies have focused on the first 12-14 postoperative weeks, and a summary of the major findings of several of these is shown in Table 6.4 [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28].…”
