Primary outcomePrimary: Weight-bearing Ratio During Five Times Sit-to-Stand Test (FTSST) — 0.77; 0.8 ratio — p==0.329
Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if rehabilitation using weight-bearing biofeedback training following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is more effective than standard rehabilitation methods in promoting weight-bearing symmetry through the lower limbs during functional activities such as sit-to-stand transfers and walking. Secondary outcomes of interest include functional measures and internal moment at the hip, knee, and ankle joints during sit-to-stand and walking.
