Conditions
Interventions
This is a double-blind, two-arm controlled clinical trial that evaluated weight-bearing capacity in the operated limb following total knee arthroplasty. Participants were randomized by simple randomiz
b) hip flexion SLR to the patient’s full range of motion (3 sets of 10 repetitions)
c) hip abduction SLR in the lateral decubitus position (3 sets of 10 repetitions)
d) Standing full-range extension (3 sets of 10 repetitions)
e) Lateral-lateral weight-shifting training (3 sets of 10 repetitions). No external load was applied
the resistance of gravity was sufficient, since the interventions were performed in the immediate postoperative period. The exception was the standing full extension, in which resistance was applied m

Eligibility
Age
55 Years to 85 Years
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Participants were eligible for the study if they were between 55 and 85 years old and were about to undergo total knee arthroplasty surgery on one leg.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: If they had undergone another knee, hip, ankle, or foot surgery less than 12 months prior; had any pre-existing condition in these joints, either on the side to be operated on or the contralateral side, that limits weight-bearing; had an injury or health condition in the upper limbs or contralateral lower limb that prevents the performance of the techniques; or presented cognitive dysfunctions that prevented understanding and responding to commands.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome 1.The primary outcome measure consists of the percentage of weight-bearing the patient will perform on the operated leg. The control group is expected to have a weight-bearing capacity 5% higher than the control group.;Outcome found 1: There was no difference in weight-bearing on the operated leg greater than 5% when comparing the intervention and control groups. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcomes 2.Secondary outcome measures were performance on the Timed Up and Go Test measured in seconds, and the score on the TAMPA scale of kinesiophobia.;Outcome found 2: The intervention group showed 5% better performance on the Timed Up and Go Test when compared to the control group. | — |
