Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The evaluation of the medical benefit of a knee brace will be estimated by the walking time of patients after their operation. The TWT (total walking time) will be measured by an analysis with a running course and is used to estimate the functional joint stability and reconvaliscence. The TWT will be measured at the beginning of rehabilitation, after 10 days and after 3 weeks. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - oxford knee score - pain reduction (VAS) - reduction of medication use - reduction of oedemas - increase os ROM - increase of knee stability - walking distance - gait parameters - proprioception | — |
