All
Age
45 Years to 80 Years
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: - Patients with surgery-day age from 45 to 80 inclusive - In x-ray proven gonarthrosis - Normal motor function of the lower extremities, documented by clinical examination and absence of history of evidence of neurological disease with change in motor function
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: - Diseases of the cardiovascular system, which result in a greatly reduced burden capacity in everyday life and are considered a contraindication of a physical stress (for example heart failure NYHA stage IV) - Taking medications that affect your balance - Persons with changes in balance and sensory disturbances in the lower extremity due to diseases such as M. Meniere, blindness, polyneuropathy, multiple sclerosis, etc. - Neurological disease with altered motor function of the lower extremities, in particular paresis with a degree of weakness worse than 4/5 or clinically detectable increase in tone or spasticity - Allergy to components of the implanted prosthesis or bone cement - Condition after implantation within the first year after surgery of an endoprosthesis or arthrodesis in adjacent joints - Patient is preoperatively unable to go through the gait lab on a flat track without forearm walkers - Intraoperative periprosthetic fracture with postoperatively required partial load - Higher degree of peripheral paralysis of the affected leg as a surgical complication (at a grade worse than 4/5) - Before the beginning of rehabilitation occurring soft tissue
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The aim of the present study is to quantitatively record and compare the effectiveness of different therapies in the rehabilitation of patients after implantation of a knee TEP using questionnaires as well as by the non-invasive method of three-dimensional, instrumented gait analysis. Primarily findings about the subjective satisfaction are to be obtained by questionnaire. This happens at follow-up 3 and 6 months after surgery. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary findings will be obtained metrologically with the aid of instrumental gait analysis for kinematic, kinetic and electromyographic parameters. This happens at follow-up 3 and 6 months after surgery. | — |
