Digital Measurement of Individual Motor and Proprioceptive Skills in Patients with Osteoarthritis of the Knee Prior to Total Knee Replacement.

CONCLUSION: It is possible to measure the motor capacity of patients using the mobile force platform (KMP) in everyday clinical practice. Based on this data a new motor score "KnieFit 1.0" was generated and groups of patients with different insufficiencies were created. Further follow-up studies should proof and compare the pre- and postoperative outcome in this field. With "KnieFit 1.0" it may be possible to create an individual perioperative rehabilitation program for compensation of detected deficits. PMID: 32604422 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
