Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine whether the effect of "hiking poles exercise" on lower extremity muscular strength, knee range of motion, and quality of life in elderly patients underwent total knee arthroplasty

Conditions

Arthroplasty; Replacement; Knee Osteoarthritis

Keywords

total knee arthroplasty; Walking stick exercise

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Total knee arthroplasty of Quality of life

  I hope the Walking stick exercise can to improving the total knee arthroplasty quality of life of patients. I use Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS). There are 5 territories analyzed in the knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score (KOOS) calculator and a knee-related QOL, Scores are transformed to a 0-100 scale, with zero representing extreme knee problems and 100 representing no knee problems as common in orthopedic scales and generic measures. Scores between 0 and 100 represent the percentage of the total possible score achieved. Furthermore, I will follow up to study on the day before surgery at 1, 6, and 12 weeks post-surgery.

  for three months

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• lower limb muscle power

  for three months

• knee range of motion

  for three months

Other Outcomes (1)

• participant characteristics

  on the day before surgery

Study Arms (2)

Experimental:Walking stick exercise

EXPERIMENTAL

The experimental:Walking stick exercise 1. Education of walking stick exercise by research nurses twice before discharge (on the day before surgery and before discharge) 2. The video clip of "walking stick exercise" is available to the patients. 3. The research nurses encourage our patients to keep rehabilitation by phone calls once a week after discharge.

Other: Walking stick exercise

Control group: conventional physical therapy.

NO INTERVENTION

1. Perform bed mobility and transfers with the least amount of assistance while maintaining appropriate weight bearing (WB) precautions. 2. Ambulate with an assistive device for 25-100 feet and ascend/descend stairs to allow for independence with household activities while maintaining appropriate WB. 3. Verbalize understanding of post-operative activity recommendations/precautions including use of proper positioning of the lower extremity, range of motion and strengthening exercises.
