The Effect of Early Progressive Resistive Exercise Therapy on Balance Control of Patients With Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Randomized Controlled Trial

摘要

Background and Purpose: Although total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a common treatment for severe osteoarthritis, high risks of fall and balance loss are the main complications of this procedure. While multiple rehabilitation protocols have been suggested for TKA, efficacy of early resistive exercise therapy aimed at improving balance has not yet been thoroughly investigated.
