Clinical Trial Summary

The osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic and degenerative disease which brings articular cartilage degeneration. As a consequence, balance and proprioception could be dangerously reduced after total knee arthroplasty.

Several studies demonstrated the correlation between OA, proprioception reduction and increased risk of falling. The aim of this study is to evaluate the proprioception improvement in patients with total knee arthroplasty.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Improvement of a proprioception	Stability Index (SI) in percentage the maximum is 100%	24 months
Secondary	Evaluation of performance in lower limb questionnaire	Short Physical Performance Battery - SPPB The score range from 0 (wost performance) to 12 (best performance)	24 months
Secondary	KSS Score	The score range from 0 to 100 with lower scores being indicative of worse knee conditions and higher scores being indicative of better knee conditions	24 months
Secondary	Clinical score	Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index the WOMAC evaluates 3 dimensions: pain, stiffness, and physical function with 5, 2, and 17 questions, respectively. The Likert version of the WOMAC is rated on an ordinal scale of 0 to 4, with lower scores indicating lower levels of symptoms or physical disability.	24 months
