Rehabilitation is an important part of the post-operative treatment after TKA by consensus. This study intends to analysis whether fast inpatient rehabilitation after TKA can improve knee joint or general function, and ultimately explore for effects and values of fast inpatient rehabilitation after TKA.
Rehabilitation, which is an important part of the post-operative treatment after TKA, could effectively alleviate symptoms of pain and swell, as well as improve knee joint and general function. It has reached a consensus that post-TKA rehabilitation should contain muscle strengthening, ROM, proprioceptive, balance training and physical factor therapy, etc. This study intends to use observational cohort study methods with exposure factor of fast inpatient rehabilitation after TKA, establish a TKA exposure group and a control group of TKA without inpatient rehabilitation, analysis whether fast inpatient rehabilitation after TKA can improve knee joint or general function, and ultimately explore for effects and values of fast inpatient rehabilitation after TKA.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
60
Routine inpatient rehabilitation protocol, administered by licensed Physical Therapist, duration period of 1.5h-2h each time, 2 times for weekdays and 1 time for weekends, totally lasting for 1 week, are applied to the exposed group. After the fast inpatient rehabilitation for 1 week, the patients can get discharged if reaching to the rehabilitation goals of symptoms of pain and swell reduced, knee flexion ≥ 90° and knee extension ≥ 0°, quadriceps femurs and hamstrings muscle strength enhanced, recovery to aided standing and walking, and acquiring of rehabilitation training methods.
