Stiffness and Pain After a Knee Replacement. After a knee replacement surgery, it is common for patients to experience stiffness and pain in the affected area. This is due to the trauma of the surgery itself, causing swelling, inflammation, and other post-operative complications. In addition, many people are required to use crutches or a walker ...

Introduction. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has been considered as a standard procedure for intractable pain in the end-stage degenerative arthritis of the knee1).Development of a new method for significant increase in the maximal angle of flexion would be beneficial for the improvement in pain and function following TKA2)..

We conducted an experiment to analyze the impact of observer position relative to the flexed knee on the perceived angle measured using an electronic application (Dr. Goniometer) for iPhone. Two observers measured the apparent knee flexion angle from 7 different positions at 3 different heights relative to the center of the knee joint.

Background: After total knee replacement (TKR) some patients report low self-perceived function, which is clinically measured using patient reported outcome measures (PROMs). However, PROMs, e.g. the Oxford Knee Score (OKS), inherently lack objective parameters of knee function. Biomechanical gait analysis is an objective and reliable measurement to quantitatively assess …
