Utilization of a Knee Brace With Extension Swing

Status Withdrawn

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this research is to help determine if use of the Guardian brace during prehab and post-op rehab after TKA can help improve functional outcomes and reduce the incidence of post-operative flexion contractures which reduce knee range of motion after surgery.

Clinical Trial Description

This will be a prospective study with consecutive TKA patients with pre-operative flexion contractures of 5 degrees or greater. Patients will be randomized to one of two groups: 1) use of the Guardian knee brace peri-operatively, and 2) no Guardian brace use. Pre-operative range of motion (ROM) and leg strength will be tested (4 to 6 weeks pre-operatively and the week before surgery) as well as during the recovery period at 6 weeks and 3 months post-operatively. The study will attempt to quantify quadriceps and hamstring strength using a Medical Engineering TKR2000, which can digitally measure quadriceps and hamstring strength with accuracy equivalent to a Biodex Dynanometer. The TKR2000 also accurately measures terminal flexion and extension of the lower extremity. Pre- and post-operative patient reported outcome measures (KOOS JR. score) will also be collected. ;
