“…Our study highlighted the importance of preoperative quadriceps muscle strengthening exercises before TKA because preoperative VM status was associated with functional outcomes. Along these lines, several studies have shown that preoperative quadriceps muscle exercise could lead to better clinical outcomes by improving the quadriceps muscle strength and eventually to an improved quality of life after TKA [29][30][31][32][33]. An et al [29] reported that patients who participated in a 3-week intensive exercise program before bilateral TKA demonstrated better clinical results in the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis (WOMAC) index than the usual treatment group 1 month after TKA.…”

Background: Vastus medialis function has been implicated in the development and progression of knee osteoarthritis; however, studies evaluating the influence of its preoperative volume and quality on functional outcomes following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remain scarce. This study aimed to determine the association between vastus medialis volume, quality, and clinical outcomes after TKA. Methods: Among the patients who underwent unilateral TKA, 92 who had undergone magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) before TKA were included. Preoperative vastus medialis volume and quality were assessed using the cross-sectional area (CSA) and fat infiltration ratio on MRI. Clinical outcomes were evaluated using the Knee Society knee score (KSKS) and Knee Society function score (KSFS) at baseline and 1 year after surgery. The relationships between preoperative CSA, fatty infiltration ratio, and clinical outcomes were analyzed using univariate and multivariate linear regression. Results: Only the fatty infiltration ratio was significantly associated with postoperative KSFS in the univariate linear regression analysis. In the multivariate linear regression analysis, age and fatty infiltration ratio were significantly associated with postoperative KSFS. Conclusions: Increased vastus medialis fat infiltration is associated with worse functional outcomes after TKA. Preserving vastus medialis quality could improve functional outcomes, and surgeons should encourage patients to perform quadriceps strengthening exercises before surgery.

Introduction: Although total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a frequently-performed surgery, no standard rehabilitation approach has yet been established. The study aimed to compare the effects of sensorimotor and core stabilization exercises on proprioception, range of motion, balance, and function following TKA. Material and methods: This randomized trial was conducted with 40 female patients (69.38 ± 5.81 years) who had undergone unilateral TKA. The participants were randomly allocated to either a sensorimotor group (N = 20) or a core stabilization group (N = 20). The patients performed exercise programs over a six-week period between the second and eighth weeks postoperatively. Proprioception, knee and hip range of motion, Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Scale (KOOS), Berg Balance Scale, Timed Up and Go test, and 5-times sit-to-stand test were measured on three separate occasions: preoperative (E0), before treatment (E1), and after treatment (E2) during postoperative rehabilitation. Results: Both groups demonstrated statistically significant improvements for all outcomes between E1 and E2 (p < 0.05). However, the sensorimotor group exhibited a significantly improvement compared to the stabilisation group regarding KOOS-sportive recreational activities (p < 0.001). Additionally, both treatment programs provided recovery of knee and hip ROM and proprioception (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Core stabilization exercises are effective for improving balance, proprioception, function, and ROM; however, sensorimotor exercises are more effective in the acquisition of sports and recreational activities. Both programs provide effective rehabilitation on a bilateral extremity.

Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the effects of aerobic and strengthening exercise combination on glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), muscle strength, balance, and sleep quality in individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Material and Methods: Fifty individuals aged between 30 and 65 years and diagnosed with type 2 DM were included in this study. Anthropometric measurements, HbA1c, quadriceps and hamstring muscle strength, balance, and sleep quality of the included individuals were evaluated. Aerobic and strengthening exercises were applied to the participants 3 days a week for 12 weeks. All evaluation measurements were repeated at the end of 12 weeks. Results: Of the 50 individuals included in this study and diagnosed with type 2 DM, 64% (n=32) were male and 36% (n=18) were female. The mean age of the participants was 50.12±10.81 years, the mean body mass index was 29.97±3.12 kg/m2, the waist/hip ratio was 0.91±0.08, and the mean HbA1c was 9.19±2.39. When the pre and post-treatment HbA1c, muscle strength, balance, and sleep quality measurements of all participants were compared, there were statistically significant differences (p<0.001). Conclusion: It was determined that the combination of long-term aerobic and strengthening exercise decreased the HbA1c value and also significantly improved muscle strength, balance, and sleep quality in individuals with type 2 DM. A structured exercise program that includes strengthening and aerobic exercises would be beneficial in developing the most effective and appropriate exercise prescriptions in terms of exercise efficiency and sustainability for individuals with type 2 DM.
