Clinical Trial Summary

To determine the effect of Otago exercise in Total Knee Replacement


Clinical Trial Description

Degenerative knee arthritis is one of the most common diseases in the elderly population. Age is the strongest risk factor for osteoarthritis. The 2010 Global Burden of Disease Study reports that the burden of musculoskeletal disorders is much larger than estimated in previous assessments and accounts for 6.8% of daily worldwide. An estimated 10% to 15% of all adults aged over 60 have some degree of OA. In Pakistan, 3.6% in rural and 3.1-4.6% in urban parts of Pakistan were found diagnosed by knee OA. When conservative treatments fail to control the symptoms, joint replacement is performed. Specifically, more than 1 million surgeries are performed every year in the United States (US) alone, with a total expenditure close to 13.7 billion and 28.5 billion US dollars for the hips and knees, respectively. The demand is expected to increase by approximately 4 time by the year 2030 annually more than 4000 joint have been replaced in Pakistan." Overall, the progress of patients after joint replacement is satisfactory. Nevertheless, a substantial number may present with functional and balance limitations, even 1 year after surgery. A cross sectional study reported that a Home-based balance and strength exercises (OEP) benefited older fallers with OA and gait and balance disorders by improving postural control. Another study has been done which suggested that elderly people who performed the OEP showed an increase in balance, muscle strength, and a decrease in both fall percentage and fall frequency. Evidence has recommended that, the OEP was more effective improving functional balance, muscle strength and physical health. A cross sectional study was conducted to evaluate the influence of specific balance-targeted training on the overall state of balance in older adults undergoing TKR. They concluded that the additional balance training program improved balance performance to a higher extent than a control group. After surgery, pain and stiffness are remarkably relieved, but functional and proprioceptive deficits, including limitation of lower limb mobility, difficulties in walking, and alterations instability and balance may remain. However, the effect of Otago exercise on balance are present in literature but the evidence for their influence in patients with TKR is narrow. So aim of this study to identify the possible role of Otago exercise program in particular population (TKR) and the prognosis in balance and Gait with this protocol in patients undergoing TKR. ;
