STUDY DESIGN
Prospective cohort study.
OBJECTIVES
To measure changes in muscle strength, range of motion, and function from 2 weeks before to 6 months after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and… (More)
BACKGROUND
Arthrofibrosis is a debilitating postoperative complication of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). It is one of the leading causes of hospital readmission and a predominant reason for TKA… (More)
Isoforms of myosin heavy chain (MHC) and myosin light chain (MLC) influence contractile kinetics of skeletal muscle. We previously showed that the four major skeletal muscle fibre types in Rana… (More)
OBJECTIVES
To examine changes in weight-bearing (WB) asymmetry during sit-stand transitions for individuals during the first 6 months after unilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Relationships… (More)
A prospective, randomized investigation compared early clinical outcomes of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using conventional or minimally invasive surgical (MIS) approaches (n = 44). Outcome measures… (More)
BACKGROUND
Despite growing interest in minimally invasive surgery (MIS) techniques for total knee arthroplasty (TKA), few randomized controlled trials have compared MIS and conventional TKA using a… (More)
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to assess the predictive value of functional performance and range of motion measures on outcomes after total knee arthroplasty.
DESIGN
This is a secondary… (More)
The purpose of this study was to develop a preliminary decision algorithm predicting functional performance outcomes to aid in the decision of when to undergo total knee arthroplasty (TKA). One… (More)
UNLABELLED
Factors predicting weight-bearing asymmetry (WBA) after unilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are not known. However, identifying modifiable and non-modifiable predictors of WBA is… (More)
polypeptide consisting of two myosin heavy chain (MHC) and four myosin light chain (MLC) subunits. Each MHC is associated with one essential light chain (ELC) and one regulatory light chain (RLC;… (More)
