Brief Summary:
Knee Osteoarthritis OA is one of the most common conditions causing disability and limitation in the elderly population with 13 of women and 10 of men over the age of 60 suffering from symptomatic knee osteoarthritis Pain and other symptoms of OA significantly affect the quality of life manifesting itself in pain decreased range of motion functional limitation and change in gait patterns
Total Knee Replacement Surgery TKR is the most common solution for patients with advanced cartilage erosion and is considered a successful surgery with high satisfaction rates about 80 The surgery becomes necessary when pain limits the daily functioning and impairs the quality of life and after the failure of conservative treatment
Still patients undergoing TKR suffer in the first period after surgery from pain decreased balance and proprioceptive impairment Despite the improvement in pain and function the rates of falls after surgery do not change drastically and remain high
About a third of older adults fall each year leading to fractures functional decline and in some cases death Walking is a complex task and with advancing age walking becomes less automatic and requires additional attention Among adults it is known that an increased risk of falls is associated with reduced ability to perform complex walking tasks such as walking while talking or crossing obstacles
After TKR most falls occur while walking due to slipping tripping In addition proprioceptive impairment pain and poor balance are associated with an increased risk of falling after TKR The mechanism underlying these effects may be increased allocation of cognitive resources to walking Thus this study will examine the ability of people before and after TKR to perform complex walking tasks in order to examine the change in attention allocation to walking following surgery It is hypothesized that after surgery the ability to walk while performing an additional task will be lower than prior to surgery
