Inclusion Criteria

Patients with surgery-day age from 45 to 80 inclusive
- In x-ray proven gonarthrosis
- Normal motor function of the lower extremities, documented by clinical examination and absence of history of evidence of neurological disease with change in motor function

Exclusion Criteria

- Diseases of the cardiovascular system, which result in a greatly reduced burden capacity in everyday life and are considered a contraindication of a physical stress (for example heart failure NYHA stage IV)
- Taking medications that affect your balance
- Persons with changes in balance and sensory disturbances in the lower extremity due to diseases such as M. Meniere, blindness, polyneuropathy, multiple sclerosis, etc.
- Neurological disease with altered motor function of the lower extremities, in particular paresis with a degree of weakness worse than 4/5 or clinically detectable increase in tone or spasticity
- Allergy to components of the implanted prosthesis or bone cement
- Condition after implantation within the first year after surgery of an endoprosthesis or arthrodesis in adjacent joints
- Patient is preoperatively unable to go through the gait lab on a flat track without forearm walkers
- Intraoperative periprosthetic fracture with postoperatively required partial load
- Higher degree of peripheral paralysis of the affected leg as a surgical complication (at a grade worse than 4/5)
- Before the beginning of rehabilitation occurring soft tissue

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The aim of the present study is to quantitatively record and compare the effectiveness of different therapies in the rehabilitation of patients after implantation of a knee TEP using questionnaires as well as by the non-invasive method of three-dimensional, instrumented gait analysis. Primarily findings about the subjective satisfaction are to be obtained by questionnaire. This happens at follow-up 3 and 6 months after surgery.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Secondary findings will be obtained metrologically with the aid of instrumental gait analysis for kinematic, kinetic and electromyographic parameters. This happens at follow-up 3 and 6 months after surgery.
