Clinical and Biomechanical Outcomes Following Total Knee Arthroplasty
The purpose of this investigation is to determine both patient-reported and performance-based
outcomes, specifically muscle function and kinematic/kinetic outcomes, between four different
surgical total knee prostheses in individuals following TKA. Change scores will be determined
based on patient-reported outcomes, kinematic/kinetic data, knee extension strength/power,
static/dynamic balance control, mobility measures and functional performance testing during
functional tasks (i.e. walking, ascending/descending stairs, sit-to-stand). After evaluating
the pattern of change in lower-extremity function, the investigators will be better prepared
to address residual functional impairments and prognostic factors linked to maximal recovery
over two years.

Inclusion Criteria:
- adults > 40 years of age that are scheduled for primary TKA
- if they have had a previous TKA, it needs to have been performed on the opposite leg
at least 3 months prior to the current TKA
- willing to return for follow-up visits and should be willing and able to be
transported from the UOC to the Skeletal Muscle Exercise Research Facility (SMERF), in
the Department of Physical Therapy study site for scheduled research follow-up
appointments
Exclusion Criteria:
- adult with previous additional orthopaedic, neurological, visual or surgical
conditions that may affect gait or balance
