Return Physical Activities After Total Knee Arthroplasty

Completed

Conditions studied: Total Knee Arthroplasty

In brief

The ability to resume physical activities, aerobic fitness and a healthy lifestyle without symptoms after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remains unclear because studies show high rates of patient dissatisfaction. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether an individualized goal-centered rehabilitation protocol leads to high patient-reported physical activities and satisfaction after TKA.
