Pre-operative sensor-based gait parameters predict functional outcome after total knee arthroplasty

摘要

Background: Despite the general success of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) regarding patient-reported outcome measures, studies investigating gait function have shown diverse functional outcomes. Mobile sensor-based systems have recently been employed for accurate clinical gait assessments, as they allow a better integration of gait analysis into clinical routines as compared to laboratory based systems.
