Walking ability has been assessed in 20 patients before and after knee replacement. In 8, who had severe osteoarthritis, a bicompartmental ICLH (Imperial College-London Hospital) prosthesis was used; in 12, with moderate arthritis, the medial side of the joint was replaced by a unicompartmental...
Methods: The differential and combined effects of NMES and hinged knee replacement were assessed in terms of walking speed, toe clearance, knee angle, and participant perceptions with and without stimulation assistance both before and after TKA. Results: The combined approach both reduced pain and ...

Time-dependent elastohydrodynamic lubrication analysis for normal total knee replacement is carried out under the cyclic variation in both load and speed representative of normal walking. An equivalent ellipsoid-on-plane model is adopted to represent an actual artificial knee. A full numerical method is...
Interrelationships of clinical outcome, length of resection, and energy cost of walking after prosthetic knee replacement following resection of a malignan... The relationships between the functional score according to the system of the International Society of Limb Salvage, the extent of resection, ...
However, several studies have shown no increase in physical activity levels after knee replacement surgery9, 10, 11, 12 and therefore even after surgery patients may remain at increased risk of mortality from cardiovascular causes5, 6. Walking programs are known to have beneficial effects on knee...
We aimed to assess the effect of HAL training on the walking ability, range of motion (ROM), and muscle strength of patients after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, and to compare the functional status after HAL training to the conventional training ...
The patient is lifted completely above the treadmill (no foot contact) and the Lokomat moves the patient’s legs in a predefined position (30° hip flexion and 45° knee flexion). The therapist can then sequentially start the measurement for each joint and each direction (e.g. knee flexion...
showing allergic reactions to the drugs used in the study; (2) being a pregnant or lactating woman; (3) having underlying diseases that make the exercise uncomfortable for the patient, like heart, lung, malignant diseases, and diabetes mellitus; (4) having hip and knee joint replacement or ...
