简要总结
This study aims to evaluate the effect of preoperative patient education program on functional mobility, gait, postural control, and kinesiophobia level in subjects with TKA. Patients of both gender will be recruited unilaterally in the city of Florianopolis and referred by an orthopedist to the Physiotherapy Clinic of UDESC. They are divided into two groups: one that will receive verbal guidance and a booklet with related information such as your physical condition as well as signs and symptoms in the postoperative period and a group that will receive only verbal guidance.Both groups will be evaluated by a blind evaluator in the preoperative and postoperative periods (6 weeks and 6 months). The evaluations will be divided into five stages. Anthropometric measurements of the individual will be made and then the WOMAC functionality questionnaire and the Kinesiophobia Cover Scale will be applied.Then the individual will walk for 5 meters for three-dimensional gait analysis and electromyographic analysis of the quadriceps and femoral biceps. The evaluation of functional mobility by Timed Up And Go and assessment of postural control in an equilibrium platform will also be performed. Statistical data will be analyzed by analysis of variance 3x2 considering factor time (pre, post 6 weeks and post 6 months) and groups (with and without information leaflet). The value of p will be 0.05.
详细描述
The study will be developed in the dependencies of the Laboratory of Biomechanics of the Center for Health Sciences and Sports of UDESC. In the preoperative period the subjects will be informed about their physical conditions as well as signs and symptoms of the postoperative period. One group (GI) will receive this information verbally and one leaflet while the other group (GC) will receive only verbal information. The allocation in these groups will be through a lottery, carried out by a member of the team who will not participate in the evaluation stages.
This staff member will read the booklet individually for each GI participant, in a reserved room, before handing out the leaflet to take home. GI participants will be encouraged to reread the information in the home environment and will be asked about the completion of this in the following steps by the staff member responsible for the blinding.
All participants included in the study will perform the kinematic, kinetic and electromyographic gait analysis as well as evaluation of fear of movement, functional mobility and self-perceived functionality in the pre (baseline)-and postoperative period (6 weeks and after 6 months).
The total duration of each evaluation will be approximately 2 (two) hours and 30 (thirty) minutes and all collections will be carried out by the same team. The participant will be allowed to stop the test if they feel pain or become fatigued.

结局指标
主要结局
Timed up And Go Test score
时间窗: pre-operative; 6 weeks; 6 months
The timed up and go requires a patient to rise from a chair walk three meters around a piece of tape and return to the chair again as quickly as possible. The TUG has good inter-rater and intra-rater reliability and validity for functional testing in older adults at risk for falls. The test is easy to administer and can be completed in two to three minutes.Change from baseline (pre-operative) in the functional mobility. The variable will be measured in seconds.
次要结局
- EMG activity(pre-operative; 6 weeks; 6 months)
- Kinetics(pre-operative; 6 weeks; 6 months)
- Kinematics(pre-operative; 6 weeks; 6 months)
