Brief Summary

The osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic and degenerative disease which brings articular cartilage degeneration. As a consequence, balance and proprioception could be dangerously reduced after total knee arthroplasty.

Several studies demonstrated the correlation between OA, proprioception reduction and increased risk of falling. The aim of this study is to evaluate the proprioception improvement in patients with total knee arthroplasty.
