- Abstract
Objective To study the relationship among VAS index, isometric strength, active rang og motion, and the bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar vertebrae in the senile osteoporosis patients with total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods Forty-eight osteoporotic patients after TKA were selected. According to the clinical manifestation and surgical indication, surgery was performed. The knee joint function was evaluated based on the rehabilitation system before the surgery. The evaluation and physical therapy were continued after the surgery. Results The improvement of the circumference of the knee joint, VAS index, isometric strength, and the BMD of the lumbar vertebrae in the treatment group was much better than that in the control group during different recovery stages after TKA (P < 0.05). Linear regression analysis found that the evaluation indexes had certain correlation. Conclusion Control of the BMD of the lumbar vertebrae may contribute to rehabilitation for patients after TKA.
