Abstract

BACKGROUND: An important aim of total knee arthroplasty is to achieve functional recovery, which includes post-operative increase in walking speed. Therefore, predicting whether a patient will walk faster or slower after surgery is important in TKA, which has not been studied in previous literatures. Who walks faster and who walks slower after TKA? Can we predict these kinds of patients before surgery?
