Abstract
Fifty-eight older patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty showed improvements in all measured physical activity indicators and patient-reported outcomes at 6 months post-surgery.
- Patients reported enhancements in knee-related pain and function over the 2-year period.
- Mean steps per day and duration of both light physical activity and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity increased after surgery.
- The Oxford Knee Score was identified as the sole predictor of improvements in physical activity during the study.
