- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method 1. Muscle power is measured using isokinetic device at baseline, 12 weeks and 6 to 8 months postsurgery<br>2. Knee symptoms are measured using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) at baseline, 12 weeks and 6 to 8 months postsurgery<br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method 1. Muscle torque is measured using isokinetic device at baseline, 12 weeks and 6 to 8 months postsurgery<br>2. Thigh muscle cross-sectional area is measured using computed tomography at baseline, 12 weeks and 6 to 8 months postsurgery<br>3. Walking speed is measured using maximal 10 meter walk test at baseline, 12 weeks and 6 to 8 months postsurgery<br>4. Ability negotiating stairs is assessed by measured stair ascending and descending times at baseline, 12 weeks and 6 to 8 months postsurgery<br>5. Mobility and balance is measured using the 8-figure-run test at baseline, 12 weeks and 6 to 8 months postsurgery<br>6. Ability to get up from the chair is measured using the sit-to-stand test at baseline, 12 weeks and 6 to 8 months postsurgery<br>7. Mobility and balance is measured using the timed up and go test (TUG) at baseline, 12 weeks and 6 to 8 months postsurgery<br>8. Quality of life is measured using RAND 36-item health survey 1.0 at baseline, 12 weeks and 6 to 8 months postsurgery
