Abstract
Background and Objective: Total Knee Replacement has been widely used as a treatment option if the conservative management fail in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Knee rehabilitation plays an important role in improvement of Pain and Function post surgery. The main objective of the present study was to assess the patients with Total Knee Replacement with reference to Pain and Function following the knee rehabilitation.
Methods: The subjects were recruited from a multispecialty hospital who got admitted for the Total Knee Replacement surgery (n=100). Patient’s demographics, BMI (Body Mass Index, severity of osteoarthritis (K-L grading system), and the co-morbidities were evaluated prior to the surgery. The subjects were evaluated for pain and physical function using Knee Society Score, WOMAC and Oxford Knee Scores a day before the surgery, 3rd month following surgery, 6th month following surgery and 12th month following surgery.
Results: Improvement in mean pain score in KSS was found to be 58.1 points from pre operative evaluation to the 12th month whereas the function score in KSS was 52.9 points. Significant improvement in WOMAC and OKS scores was 64.5 points and 29.8 points respectively.
Conclusion: Significant improvement in the pain and function was found in patients with Total Knee Replacement by knee rehabilitation.
