Predicting early clinical function after hip or knee arthroplasty
TL;DR: The pre- and post-operative day two TUG can indicate hospital LOS and short-term functional capacities, while the pre-operative WOMAC function subscale can indicate short- term functional capacities.

Total knee arthroplasty with unexplained pain: new insights from kinematics.
Célia Planckaert,Gabriel Larose,Pierre Ranger,Marc Lacelle,Alexandre Fuentes,Nicola Hagemeister,Nicola Hagemeister +6 more
TL;DR: Painful TKA patients presented three well-known characteristics that tend to increase patellofemoral forces and that could be the cause of the unexplained pain: a stiff knee gait, a valgus alignment when walking, and combined TKA components slightly internally rotated.

Comparative effects of 2 aqua exercise programs on physical function, balance, and perceived quality of life in older adults with osteoarthritis
Alison L. Fisken,Debra L. Waters,Wayne Hing,Michael Steele,Michael Steele,Justin W L Keogh,Justin W L Keogh +6 more
TL;DR: Aqua fitness may offer a number of positive functional and psychosocial benefits for older adults with OA, such as a reduced fear of falling and increased ability to perform everyday tasks.

Rodrigo Núñez-Cortés,Carlos Cruz-Montecinos,Álvaro Vásquez-Rosel,Orlando Paredes-Molina,Antonio Cuesta-Vargas +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a case series describes a combined program of dry needling and therapeutic exercise in a small group of patients with persistent pain following total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

TL;DR: The biomechanically-based yoga exercise program produced clinically meaningful improvements in pain, self-reported physical function and mobility in women with clinical knee OA compared to no exercise, and improvements in these outcomes were larger than those elicited from the traditional exercise-based program.

The Timed “Up & Go”: A Test of Basic Functional Mobility for Frail Elderly Persons
TL;DR: This study evaluated a modified, timed version of the “Get‐Up and Go” Test (Mathias et al, 1986) in 60 patients referred to a Geriatric Day Hospital and suggested that the timed “Up & Go’ test is a reliable and valid test for quantifying functional mobility that may also be useful in following clinical change over time.
Journal ArticleDOI
International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health
TL;DR: The World Health Organization’s (WHO) International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) has been revised to recognize that the concept of disability resides largely in the sociocultural domain of the authors' lives rather than being an attribute of the individual.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predicting the probability for falls in community-dwelling older adults using the Timed Up & Go Test.
TL;DR: The TUG is a sensitive and specific measure for identifying community-dwelling adults who are at risk for falls and the ability to predict falls is not enhanced by adding a secondary task when performing the TUG.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comfortable and maximum walking speed of adults aged 20—79 years: reference values and determinants
TL;DR: Gait speed can be expected to be reduced in individuals of greater age and of lesser height and lower extremity muscle strength and normative values should give clinicians a reference against which patient performance can be compared in a variety of settings.
Journal ArticleDOI
A 30-s chair-stand test as a measure of lower body strength in community-residing older adults
TL;DR: It was concluded that the 30-s chair stand provides a reasonably reliable and valid indicator of lower body strength in generally active, community-dwelling older adults.
