Abstract. [Purpose] To compare the reliability of goniometric measurements of knee flexion obtained in three different body positions of patients with total knee arthroplasty (TKA).[Subjects] The knees (151) of 92 TKA patients were the subjects of this study.[Methods] The range of flexion was measured at three instances: preoperatively, postoperative fifth day and at the time of discharge by universal goniometer measurement with the patient positioned in the supine, prone and sitting positions.[Results] There were no significant differences between the range of motion measurements in the three testing positions at the three instances. Also, the results from the three different testing positions were highly correlated (r>0.80).[Conclusion] The results of this study indicate that the position of the patient during the evaluation of range of knee flexion does not affect the results and that the three different body positions can be used interchangeably.

“…[12,15] Bu anlamda, TDA sonrası hastaların %75'inde günlük yaşam aktivitelerini kısıtlayan ve fonksiyonel yetersizliklerin başında gelen çömelme aktivitesi sırasında, kuadriseps femoris kas kuvvetindeki değişikliğe bağlı olarak her iki ekstremiteye binen vücut ağırlık dağılım oranlarında farklılık gösterebilmektedir. [9,13] İlerleyen yaş ile birlikte kuadriseps femoris kas kitlesinde ve gücünde azalma meydana gelir. Total diz artroplastisi uygulamasını takiben kuadriseps femoris kas kuvvetindeki azalmaya paralel olarak çömelme yeteneği kısıtlanırken, ekstremiteler arasında da asimetrik bir yük dağılımı oluşur.…”

Amaç: Bu çalışmada tek taraflı total diz artroplastili (TDA) hastalarda ekstremiteler arasındaki vücut ağırlık dağılım oranları, ameliyat sonrası 12. ayda, ayakta-statik pozisyonda ve 30, 60, 90 derece diz fleksiyonunda iken belirlendi. Hastalar ve yöntemler: Çalışmaya, tek taraf dize primer TDA uygulanan 52 kadın hasta (ort. yaş 65.6±10.6 yıl; dağı-lım 40-83 yıl) dahil edildi. Hastaların vücut ağırlık dağılım oranlarını hesaplamak için kuvvet platformu kullanıldı. Tek taraflı TDA hastalarının kuvvet platformunda, ayakta-statik pozisyon, 30, 60 ve 90 derece diz fleksiyonunda iken ameliyatlı ve ameliyatlı olmayan ekstremiteler üzerine binen vücut ağırlık dağılım oranları, yaş ve vücut kütle indeksine (VKİ) göre incelendi. Hastaların ağrı düzeyleri görsel analog ölçeği-ne göre değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Ameliyat sonrası 12. ayda tek taraflı TDA hastalarının, ayakta-statik pozisyon, 30, 60 ve 90 derece diz fleksiyonunda iken, ameliyatlı olmayan ekstremite üzerine vücut ağırlıklarını daha fazla verdikleri bulundu (p<0.05). Tek taraflı TDA hastalarında yaş artışına bağlı olarak diz fleksiyon derecesi arttıkça, vücut ağırlığının, ameliyatlı olmayan diz üzerine daha fazla oranda verildiği bulunurken (p<0.05), VKİ'nin, iki ekstremitede yük dağılım farkı üzerine bir etkisi olmadığı saptandı (p>0.05). Sonuç: Ameliyat sonrası dönemde ilerleyen yaşa bağlı olarak tek taraflı TDA hastalarda iki ekstremite arasındaki yük asimetrisi devam etmektedir. Bu durum ameliyatlı olmayan dizde, osteoartrit sürecinin hızlanmasına neden olmaktadır. Tek taraflı TDA hastalarında fizyoterapi ve rehabilitasyon programları planlanması aşamasında, yaş faktörü de göz önünde bulundurarak, ameliyatlı olan dizde de yük taşıtıl-masını sağlayan egzersiz programlarının dikkate alınması gerekliliği sonucuna varıldı.Anahtar sözcükler: Yaş faktörleri; artroplasti; vücut ağırlığı; diz; replasman. Objectives:The study aims to determine body weight ratios between extremities in patients with unilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) at 12 months postoperatively at the staticstanding position at 30, 60 and 90 degrees of knee flexion. Patients and methods: The study included 52 female patients (mean age 65.6±10.6 years; range 40 to 83 years) who underwent unilateral primary TKA. The force-platform was used to calculate the body-weight ratios of the patients. Body weight ratios on the operated and non-operated limbs of the unilateral TKA patients were examined at standing-static position at 30, 60 and 90 degrees of knee flexion on the forceplatform according to their age and body mass index (BMI). The pain levels of the patients were evaluated using the visual analog scale. Results: It was found that unilateral TKA patients placed their body weight on the non-operated limb more at the standing-static position, and 30, 60 and 90 degrees of knee flexion at 12 months postoperatively (p<0.05). It was also found that as the knee flexion degree increased with age, so did TKA patients place their body weight on the nonoperated limb more (p<0.05), and that BMI had no ef...

Abstract.[Purpose] The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of external supports on the degree of knee flexion.[Subjects] Twenty volunteers (40 knees) were recruited to the study.[Methods] Active knee flexion was measured using a goniometer with the patient in the supine position. After measuring the knee flexion with the leg naked, the same procedure was repeated after application of an elastic stocking, an elastic bandage or a Jones bandage.[Results] The Jones bandage appeared to inhibit the knee flexion angle by 16.8%. This value was 2.7% for the elastic stockings and 4.2% for the elastic bandage.[Conclusion] These results may be used in the modification of the rehabilitation regime after total knee replacement.
