Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty: BMI > 35 Surgery to the study knee Active infection, systemic infection Trauma to study knee Previous knee, hip, or ankle replacement surgery or planned to have one in the next 24 months Any musculoskeletal or neurological disease other than osteoarhritis that impairs gait or balance Severe damage to any knee ligament other than anterior cruciate ligament Healthy controls: Moderate to severe pain in one or both knees, hip or ankle (>4 on items 3-6 form Brief Pain Inventory) Previous replacement surgery to knee, hip or ankle or planned for future replacement surgery
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Difference between TKA-CR subjects 1 year post-operatively and healthy controls on average gait speed from gait bouts identified during 5-7 days continuous monitoring in real life (free-living). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Continous monitoring: - Quantity of gait bouts/hour - Peak turning velocity - Mean stride length - Mean stride time - Coefficient of variation of stride time - Asymmetry of step time - Coronal trunk range of motion - Foot strike angle Challenging gait tasks: Peturbations: - Foot placement post-perturbation - CoM trajectory during the perturbation and subsequent steps - Margin of stability - CoP trajectory - Spatiotemporal gait parameters (step width, step length) Up/downhill walking: - Sagittal knee moments - Knee adduction moments - Knee joint angles - Ankle joint moments and angles - Hip joint moments and angles - Toe-out angle - Toe-off angle - Spatiotemporal gait parameters | — |
