•The population for this project will consist of 84 patients who have osteoarthritis of the knee and who have reached the top of the waiting list of one consultant orthopeadic surgeon at Derby Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The patients will be recruited to the study approximately two weeks prior to the planned date of surgery, during the standard pre-surgery screening. The recruitment process will be undertaken by the second investigator. The cohort size was determined with a power calculation.
•Inclusion Criteria:
•1. Patients who are having TKR surgery for osteoarthritis of the knee
•2. Patients that are being treated by one consultant orthopaedic surgeon
•3. Patients that are having unilateral or bilateral replacements
•4. Patients that are having bilateral replacements at different operating centres

•1. Patients that are having their knee replaced for rheumatoid arthritis, accident or septic cysts
•2. Patients that have undergone previous surgery to the knee such as ligament reconstructions or femoral osteotomy wedges
•3. Patients with any neurological, metabolic or vascular disease that might affect proprioceptive feedback mechanisms of the knee
•4. Any patient or volunteers that have any other pathological problem that would affect their gait patterns, such as contra lateral amputation, or significant leg length discrepancy
