EVALUATION OF REHABILITATION AFTER TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: Evaluating the result of rehabilitation after total knee arthroplasty at the Xanh Pon hospital. Method: 28 patients who received total knee arthroplasty and rehabilitation right after surgery. Observing and evaluating after 1st month, 2nd month and 3rd month of rehabilitation based on KSS (The Knee Society Score) consisting of 2 components: Knee Score (KS) and Knee Function Score (KFS). KS (0-100 points) consists of: pain - 50p, ROM - 25p, stability - 25p and point subtraction. KFS (0-100 points) consists of: pain - 50p, walking downstairs and upstairs - 50p and point subtraction. Results: The recovery rate was improved with statistically significant differences. The final results after 3 months: according to KS: average point 75.86 ± 11.19 (difference of significance with p<0.001). In KFS: average point 83 ± 7.76 (difference of significance with p<0.001). The most patients witness positive results with the rate of good and very good outcome >64%. Conclusion: The functional recovery technique applying by research group got high efficiency and pleased by most of patients.
