The Effect of Balance Training Using a Dynamometric Platform in Patients Undergoing Total Knee Arthroplasty

The Effect of Balance Training Using a Dynamometric Platform on Muscle Strength, Proprioception, Balance, and Gait in Patients Undergoing Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Single-Blind Randomized Controlled Trial


Sponsor

Ankara Etlik City Hospital

Enrollment

46 participants

Start Date

May 1, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a common surgery used to treat advanced knee osteoarthritis, especially when other treatments no longer help. While the surgery often reduces pain and improves joint alignment, many patients still have problems with balance and movement afterward. This study will explore whether adding balance training using the Tecnobody ProKin system to standard physical therapy helps patients recover better after TKA. The researchers will measure balance, walking ability, leg strength, and body awareness (also called proprioception) using special equipment. The main goal is to test the hypothesis that technology-supported balance training improves recovery outcomes more effectively than standard rehabilitation alone.


Eligibility

Interventions

DEVICETecnobody ProKin Balance Training

Balance training using Tecnobody ProKin dynamometric platform, administered 5 sessions per week for 3 weeks in addition to standard rehabilitation.

BEHAVIORALStandard rehabilitation

The standard rehabilitation protocol includes cold pack application to the knee region, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), quadriceps muscle stimulation, knee stretching, active-assisted and active range of motion (ROM) exercises, strengthening exercises for the knee extensors and hip abductors/extensors, gait training, and balance exercises. Each patient will undergo a total of 15 physical therapy sessions.
