Investigation of the validity and reliability of the short physical performance battery in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty

CONCLUSION: SPPB has excellent reliability, and strong validity in assessing physical performance in patients with TKA. SPPB can identify even minimal detectable difference in physical performance and can be reliably used to monitor patient outcomes in the postoperative period for a comprehensive assessment of TKA in many physical performance domains, including balance, walking speed, and lower extremity strength.CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: NCT06201637.PMID:38557264 | DOI:10.1080/09593985.2024.2337784
