2 of these studies reported a significant reduction in total costs in the prehabilitation groups [83]. Wallis et al. reported on a systematic review and meta-analysis on preoperative intervention before knee or hip joint replacement surgery that included 23 RCTs with 1467 participants. The results...
As shown herein above, smart screws can be placed in the femur and tibia to provide quantitative measurement data that can be used in a variety of ways to assess the musculoskeletal system and more specifically a knee joint replacement and subsequent rehabilitation of the leg. In general, smart...
They then followed leg workouts consisting of seated leg/knee extensions and loaded goblet squats (3 sets of 10, 10-12 reps per set, 60 second inter-set rest). Between exercises, the subjects rested for two minutes. We teased the new rebrand, and now you can see why it’s such a big...

Background: It is well-established that cross-sectional measurements of poor body composition are associated with impaired physical function and that power training effectively enhances total lean mass and physical function in older adults. However, it is unclear if power training-induced changes in bo...
Objective: To determine if the Nintendo Wii Fit is an acceptable adjunct to the rehabilitation therapy of outpatients following total knee replacement. Design: Randomized controlled trial.
