Gait Variability before Surgery and at Discharge in Patients Who Undergo Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Cohort Study

This study aimed to determine gait ability at hospital discharge in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) as an indicator of the risk of falling. Fifty-seven patients undergoing primary TKA for knee osteoarthritis participated in this study. Gait variability measured with accelerometers and physical function including knee range of motion (ROM), quadriceps strength, walking speed, and the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test were evaluated preoperatively and at discharge from the hospital (1 month before and 5 days after surgery). All patients were discharged directly home at 5 days after surgery. Knee flexion of ROM, quadriceps strength, walking speed, and the TUG test results were significantly worse at hospital discharge than preoperatively (p < 0.001). However, gait variability was not significantly different before and after TKA. This result indicated that patients following TKA surgery could walk at hospital discharge as stably as preoperatively regardless of the decrease in physical function, including knee ROM, quadriceps strength, and gait speed after surgery.     

不同手术方式治疗老年膝内侧间室骨关节炎的疗效对比分析

摘要 目的：比较单踝关节置换术（UKA）和全膝关节置换术（TKA）治疗老年膝内侧间室骨关节炎的疗效。方法：选取2020年1月~2022年6月本院收治的100例老年膝内侧间室骨关节炎患者为研究对象,随机（随机数字表法）分为UKA组（n=50）和TKA组（n=50）,采取相应手术方法治疗。比较两组手术相关指标、美国特种外科医院（HSS）膝关节功能评分、膝关节屈伸活动度（ROM）、疼痛视觉模拟评分法（VAS）、健康调查12条简表（SF-12）评分及假体情况。结果：与TKA组相比,UKA组切口长度更短,术中出血量及术后引流量更少,手术时间、下地行走时间及住院时间更短,组间比较差异均有统计学意义（P<0.05）。UKA组术后2周、3个月及6个月时HSS评分均明显高于TKA组（P<0.05）。UKA组术后2周、3个月ROM均明显高于TKA组（P<0.05）。UKA组术后3个月VAS评分明显低于TKA组（P<0.05）。两组SF-12评分中生理及心理维度评分在术后6个月后均明显提高（P<0.05）;但组间比较差异均无统计学意义（P>0.05）。两组均无假体翻修病例。结论：UKA相比于TKA具有创伤更小、患者术后恢复更快、膝关节功能恢复更好的优势。     

全膝关节置换术后多模式镇痛中非选择与选择性COX-2抑制剂的对比应用研究

目的：评价全膝关节置换术后病人早期功能锻炼过程中应用选择性环氧化酶-2（COX-2）抑制剂帕瑞昔布钠与非选择性环氧化酶（COX）抑制剂氟比洛芬酯之间的镇痛效果是否存在差异,以及对早期功能锻炼结果的影响。方法：前瞻性、随机、双盲、平行对照研究,根据纳入/排除标准,连续选取2009年6月至2010年3月在我科行单侧人工全膝关节置换术的病人60名。手术均采用腰麻联合硬膜外阻滞麻醉,由同一组手术医师完成,术中假体安装前关节周围软组织注射＂鸡尾酒＂镇痛液（罗哌卡因注射液150mg＋肾上腺素（1：1000）0.5ml,由生理盐水稀释为100ml）。手术结束后进行病人自控静脉镇痛（PCIA）。术后当天患者在护士的指导下进行股四头肌收缩功能锻炼及直腿抬高功能锻炼。术后第一天起行膝关节被动伸屈功能锻炼（CPM）及主动伸屈功能锻炼。术后第3至5天患者停PCIA镇痛后,进行试验干预。帕瑞昔布钠组给予注射用帕瑞昔布钠40mg,静注1/12小时。氟比洛芬酯组给予氟比洛芬酯注射液100mg,静注1/12小时。观察病人术后第3至5天静息状态下和活动锻炼时膝关节最大主动屈曲时的疼痛强度（VAS评分）,手术侧膝关节的主动伸屈活动度及术后1月复查时的手术侧膝关节的主动伸屈活动度,KSS评分,术后第2天与第6天的血红蛋白值。结果：两组病人给药后在静息状态及膝关节最大主动屈曲时,在不同时间点的VAS评分、膝关节主动活动度及术后1月患者膝关节的主动活动度和KSS评分的差异均无统计学意义（P〉0.05）。应用抗凝治疗后,帕瑞昔布钠组患者血红蛋白下降值与氟比洛芬酯组存在差异（P=0.042）。结论：尚不能认为人工全膝关节置换术后多模式镇痛中同时抑制COX-1和COX-2与选择性抑制COX-2之间存在差异。但应用选择性COX-2抑制剂（帕瑞昔布钠）镇痛更安全,因其有利于减少全膝关节置换术后患者抗凝治疗过程中的隐性失血。     

经股内侧肌入路降低全膝关节置换术术后不良反应及促进膝关节功能康复

为评估髌骨旁内侧入路和经股内侧肌入路两种手术技术在全膝关节置换术(total knee arthroplasty,TKA)中的早期功能结果,本研究选取50例2013年3月至2017年3月期间在我院行全膝关节置换数的患者作为研究对象,随机分为两组。一组患者通过髌骨旁内侧入路进行TKA手术,另外一组患者通过经股内侧肌入路方法进行TKA手术。所有患者均只进行一次手术,两组均使用相同类型的植入物。使用视觉模拟评分法(visual analogue scale, VAS)记录疼痛评分,并在术后3周和6周时获得随访数据,包括股四头肌强度和本体感受。结果表明,TKA术后,经股内侧肌入路组患者在休息和运动时表现出明显较低的疼痛(VAS:平均2.13±1.87与2.84±1.76)和(VAS:平均3.11±2.16与3.21±2.02)。此外,经股内侧肌入路组患者在3周((41.2±17.8) Nm vs (27.3±14.1) Nm)和6周((47.4±19.5) Nm vs (35.6±16.2) Nm)显示出优异的等长股四头肌强度。另外,经股内侧肌入路组患者术后本体感觉良好,而两组患者的运动范围相似。研究初步表明,在早期康复期间,经股内侧肌入路方法比髌骨旁内侧入路更有优势。没有观察到与此方法相关的不良影响。因此,经股内侧肌入路应被认为是TKA中有价值的替代方法。

Quadriceps strength and weight acceptance strategies continue to improve two years after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is the most commonly-injured knee ligament during sporting activities. After injury, most individuals experience episodes of the knee giving way during daily activities (non-copers). Non-copers demonstrate asymmetrical quadriceps strength and movement patterns, which could have long-term deleterious effects on the integrity of the knee joint. The purpose of this study was to determine if non-copers resolve their strength and movement asymmetries within two years after surgery. 26 Non-copers were recruited to undergo pre-operative quadriceps strength testing and 3-dimensional gait analysis. Subjects underwent surgery to reconstruct the ligament followed by physical therapy focused on restoring normal range of motion, quadriceps strength, and function. Subjects returned for quadriceps strength testing and gait analysis six months and two years after surgery. Acutely after injury, quadriceps strength was asymmetric between limbs, but resolved six months after surgery. Asymmetric knee angles, knee moments, and knee and hip power profiles were also observed acutely after injury and persisted six months after surgery despite subjects achieving symmetrical quadriceps strength. Two years after surgery, quadriceps strength in the involved limb continued to improve and most kinematic and kinetic asymmetries resolved. These findings suggest that adequate quadriceps strength does not immediately resolve gait asymmetries in non-copers. They also suggest that non-copers have the capacity to improve their quadriceps strength and gait symmetry long after ACL reconstruction.

A randomised controlled trial of a self-management education program for osteoarthritis of the knee delivered by health care professionals

Introduction

Our aim in the present study was to determine whether a disease-specific self-management program for primary care patients with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee (the Osteoarthritis of the Knee Self-Management Program (OAK)) implemented by health care professionals would achieve and maintain clinically meaningful improvements in health-related outcomes compared with a control group.

Methods

Medical practitioners referred 146 primary care patients with OA of the knee. Volunteers with coexistent inflammatory joint disease or serious comorbidities were excluded. Randomisation was to either a control group or the OAK group. The OAK group completed a 6-week self-management program. The control group had a 6-month waiting period before entering the OAK program. Assessments were taken at baseline, 8 weeks and 6 months. The primary outcomes were the results measured using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) Pain and Function subscales on the Short Form 36 version 1 questionnaire (SF-36) Secondary outcomes were Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) pain, Timed Up &; Go Test (TUG), knee range of motion and quadriceps and hamstring strength-isometric contraction. Responses to treatment (responders) and minimal clinically important improvements (MCIIs) were determined.

Results

In the OAK group, VAS pain improved from baseline to week 8 from mean (SEM) 5.21 (0.30) to 3.65 (0.29) (P ≤ 0.001). During this period, improvements in the OAK group compared with the control group and responses to treatment were demonstrated according to the following outcomes: WOMAC Pain, Physical Function and Total dimensions, as well as SF-36 Physical Function, Role Physical, Body Pain, Vitality and Social Functioning domains. In addition, from baseline to week 8, the proportion of MCIIs was greater among the OAK group than the control group for all outcomes. For the period between baseline and month 6, WOMAC Pain, Physical Function and Total dimensions significantly improved in the OAK group compared to the control group, as did the SF-36 Physical Function, Role Physical, Body Pain, Vitality and Social Functioning domains, as well as hamstring strength in both legs. During the same period, the TUG Test, range of motion extension and left-knee flexion improved compared with the control group, although these improvements had little clinical relevance.

Conclusions

We recorded statistically significant improvements compared with a control group with regard to pain, quality of life and function for participants in the OAK program on the basis of WOMAC and SF-36 measures taken 8 weeks and 6 months from baseline.     

Neuromuscular and psychological influences on range of motion recovery in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction patients

To identify distinguishing characteristics for knee surgery patients who experience a protracted recovery process, we sought to determine if there is an association between the neuromuscular stretch reflex and psychological factors of pain perception and anxiety on the range of motion (ROM) recovery rate of post-operative anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) rehabilitation patients. The ACLR participants were categorized into a slow recovery group (SRG: >6 weeks to recover 0–125° knee flexion [n = 10]) and a normal recovery group (NRG: <6 weeks to recovery 0–125° knee flexion [n = 12]). Control participants (n = 22) were age, gender and activity-level matched to the surgical participants. Neuromuscular testing consisted of sagittal plane video kinematics of the Wartenberg Pendulum Test for determining lower limb stiffness indices and electromyography-monitored patellar tendon tap reflex responses. Psychological and health status assessments consisted of the State–Trait Anxiety Inventory and SF-36? Health Survey. Data revealed that neuromuscular reflex profiles, lower limb stiffness indices, pain, anxiety and SF-36? indices of function were not significantly different between the two surgical groups (SRG and NRG). The surgical groups exhibited significantly greater pain (2.67 ± 2.27 SRG, 1.49 ± 1.15 NRG) than the control group (p ? .05). SF-36? indices were significantly lower for the surgical groups for total score (546.55 ± 94.70 SRG, 577.57 ± 125.58 NRG), function 69.00 ± 20.24 SRG, 67.08 ± 19.12 NRG), role physical (53.75 ± 22.85 SRG, 53.12 ± 23.15 NRG), social (76.24 ± 25.31 SRG, 65.62 ± 27.24 NRG), and emotional (82.49 ± 19.81 SRG, 81.38 ± 23.02 NRG) subscales (p ? .05). These results suggest that neuromuscular reflex responses, visual analogue scale (VAS) pain, and anxiety are not distinguishing factors for ROM recovery rate between the SRG and NRG. Decreased SF-36? indices, including pain as it influences function, though clinically relevant factors, were not statistically associated with post-operative ROM recovery rate.

Gender differences in active musculoskeletal stiffness. Part I. Quantification in controlled measurements of knee joint dynamics.

Active females demonstrate increased risk for musculoskeletal injuries relative to equivalently-trained males. Although gender differences in factors such as passive laxity, skeletal geometry and kinematics have been examined, the effect of gender on active muscle stiffness has not been reported. Stiffness of the active quadriceps and hamstrings musculature were recorded during isometric knee flexion and extension exertions from twelve male and eleven female subjects. A second-order biomechanical model of joint dynamics was used to quantify stiffness from the transient motion response to an angular perturbation of the lower-leg. Female subjects demonstrated reduced active stiffness relative to male subjects at all torque levels, with levels 56-73% of the males. Effective stiffness increased linearly with the torque load, with stiffness increasing at a rate of 3.3 Nm/rad per unit of knee moment in knee flexion exertions (hamstrings) and 6.6 Nm/rad per unit of knee moment extension exertions (quadriceps). To account for gender differences in applied moment associated with leg mass, regressions analyses were completed that demonstrated a gender difference in the slope of stiffness-versus-knee moment relation. Further research is necessary to identify the cause of the observed biomechanical difference and implications for controlling injury.     

A comparison of lower-body flexibility, strength, and knee stability between karate athletes and active controls

The purposes of this study were to compare the lower-body flexibility, strength, and knee stability of karate athletes against that of non-karate controls and to determine whether regular karate training results in adaptations that may result in an increased risk for knee injury. Flexibility measurements included knee flexion and extension, hip flexion and extension, hip internal and external rotation, and foot inversion and eversion. Nine karate athletes (4 women and 5 men, age = 24.3 +/- 6.7 years) and 15 active, non-karate controls (7 women and 8 men, age = 22.1 +/- 3.2 years) participated. No subjects reported recent knee surgery or chronic or acute knee pain. Concentric quadriceps and hamstrings strength and endurance were measured using a Biodex II isokinetic dynamometer at 60 degrees .s(-1) and 180 degrees .s(-1). Eccentric strength was measured at 150 degrees .s(-1) and 250 ft-lb (339 N.m). Knee stability was measured via varus and valgus stress and anterior drawer testing. Karate athletes demonstrated a significantly greater right hip flexion (p 相似文献
