摘要：

Purpose: To investigate the effect of a biomechanical therapy on gait, function and clinical condition in patients following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods: Seventeen TKA patients participated in the study. Patients received a biomechanical therapy AposTherapy). Patients underwent a gait test, clinical examination and an assessment of pain, function and quality of life (QOL). Patients were examined again at one, three and six month follow-ups. Results: A significant improvement over time was found in most gait measurements. Significant improvements were also found in pain, function and QOL. Conclusions: The examined biomechanical therapy may help in the rehabilitation process following TKA. Copyright (C) 2014, Professor P K Surendran Memorial Education Foundation.
