Comparison of Clinical Outcomes and Performance of Total Knee Replacement Patients Before and After Surgery

Completed

Conditions studied: Degenerative Joint Disease, Osteoarthritis, Knee Injury, Trauma, Connective Tissue Disorder, Pain, Loss of Function

In brief

This study is to determine the relevancy of clinical scales for outcome measures as compared to flexion angle and other gait measures. Clinical outcomes measures in the form of the Knee Society Score and the WOMAC Score will be obtained from patients. Gait data will also be obtained from total knee replacement (TKR) patients at pre-operative and post-operative times. Gait data will be measured on unaffected normal controls as a second baseline. The hypothesis is that the subjects clinical outcome measures do not accurately reflect gait dependent outcomes amd functional performance of the total knee replacement.
