Comprehensive analysis of total knee arthroplasty kinematics and functional recovery: Exploring full-body gait deviations in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

ABSTRACT: Total Knee Arthroplasty has well-established success in relieving knee pain and improving function but patients do not reach functional levels of control groups after surgery and 20% of patients remain unsatisfied. To understand the different patient profiles and develop patient-specific approaches of care, functional phenotypes based on knee biomechanics during gait have been evaluated. To widen the understanding of patient's function, it seems crucial to consider the gait devieations at the whole body level. Thus, this study aims at 1) assessing the impact of knee OA on full-body gait mechanics, 2) assessing whether potential deviations persist one year after TKA surgery, and 3) their potential impact on satisfaction. To that end, clinical gait analysis was performed before and one year
