Joint Arthroplasty, Knee and Hip
Conditions
Brief summary
Researchers are trying to assess a predictive value or correlation of outcome measures results on subjects following a total knee or total hip arthroplasty in order to better predict the time frame taken to achieve certain functional milestones that are pertinent to subject population.
Detailed description
Subjects will undergo testing for a normal physical therapy clinical assessment that is standard of care for anyone who has a total hip or total knee surgery. Researchers will be using the data obtained from standard therapy care and see if correlations exist from that data and the time taken to complete specific functional tasks.
