Abstract
Background: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a common chronic articular disease worldwide. The knee joint, which is the most complex joint of the human body and bears the greatest load among all joints, is therefore most susceptible to development of OA KOA lesions may involve articular cartilage, synovium, joint capsule and periarticular muscles, causing irreversible articular damage. Knee arthroplasty (KA) aims to restore normal gait, correct joint alignment, improve quality of life and functional outcomes.
Objectives: Hence the main purpose of this study was to investigate gait analysis based on kinetic and kinematic analysis, spatio-temporal characteristics and pelvic angles. Additionallt to discover the quality of life and functional outcome results in patients with KA compared to healthy adults.
Methods: The gait analysis were measured with BTS-G walk accelerometer fort he walking quality index, spatio-temporal kinematics and pelvic angles in KA patients compared to control individiuals. Quality of life has assessed with Short-form-12 and functional outcome has assessed with Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS).
Results: Gait analysis did not differ interms of walk quality index fort he stance and swing phase of the gait cycle between the groups (p > 0.05). However based on the spatio – temporal analysis walk speed and step length were statistically significantly different between the groups (p< 0.05) and pelvic obliquality and rotation were statistically significantly different between the groups (p < 0.05). Besides quality of life indicated no difference (p > 0.05); whereas HSS was statistically different between the groups (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: The assessment of gait analysis and post-surgical outcomes of the KA is of great importance to gain the patients’ functional outcome. Regarding rehabilitation; it gives new insigth to physiotherapy success and improve the post-surgical management.
