Download or read book Total Knee Replacement and Rehabilitation written by Daniel J. Brugioni and published by Hunter House. This book was released on 2004 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year approximately 250,000 Americans undergo total-knee-replacement surgery (also known as a total knee arthroplasty, or TKA). Every year, a million more consider it. If you are considering or have had a total knee replacement you should read this book. It will tell you everything you need to know to prepare for and recover from the surgery, and to get the most out of your new knee. The success of a total knee replacement depends on rehabilitating the knee after the operation -- in fact, the rehab is as important as the surgery itself. This book maps out the road to recovery with week-by-week exercises for a full year. The authors, a surgeon and physical therapist who have both been orthopedic patients, provide practical tips, success stories and personal insights into the recovery process. Most people, even surgeons, don't realize how dramatically arthritis can change a person's life. Author Jeff Falkel, Ph.D., was one of these people. Over the course of 20 years his knees had gotten progressively worse, and eventually the pain reached the point where it was present in every aspect of his life. He could not stand or walk without crippling pain.

Download or read book Joint Arthroplasty written by Shinichi Imura and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The introduction of total joint arthroplasty throughout the world has contributed manifold benefits to patients who suffer from joint diseases. Concurrently, however, there has been an increase in revision surgery. Many orthopedic surgeons agree that durability of prostheses is an eternal problem. In particular, periprosthetic osteolysis recently has been identified as one of the serious problems affecting prosthetic dura bility. To improve durability, osteolysis and many other problems must be investi gated and solved both experimentally and clinically with respect to such aspects as prosthetic material, design, and biological and biomechanical behavior. This book comprises 37 papers that were presented by orthopedic surgeons and biomedical engineers at the 28th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society for Replace ment Arthroplasty, held in March 1998 in Kanazawa, Japan. The volume is thus a compilation of the latest knowledge about the pathogenesis and reduction of osteolysis and wear, newly developed total hip prostheses, and other current topics of total knee arthroplasty. We earnestly hope that this book will be of benefit to clinicians and researchers, and that it will contribute to the creation of more durable total joint prostheses in the future.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A patient with a complex history of mental illness received a right total knee arthroplasty during the summer of 2016 and was seen for physical therapy treatment for 5 sessions in an acute care hospital setting. Treatment was provided by a student physical therapist (SPT) under the guidance and supervision of a licensed physical therapist. The patient was evaluated with manual muscle testing, goniometry, numeric pain rating scale, two-minute walk test, and levels of assistance. The results of these assessments were evaluated and a plan of care was established to address the patient's specific impairments and activity limitations. The plan of care addressed the patient's reduced right knee range of motion, weakness of bilateral hips and right knee, pain while resting and with movement, limited endurance, and impaired bed mobility, transfers and gait. The main goals set for this patient were to improve range of motion in the surgical knee and gain independence in transfers, bed mobility, and gait. Interventions included range of motion exercises, functional mobility training, and cryotherapy. The patient improved independence with all functional mobility activities, increased right knee range of motion, and experienced a reduction in pain with movement by the time of discharge. The patient was safe to discharge home with assistance of a caregiver, and was discharged with a progressive, individualized home exercise program, continuous passive movement device, and orders for home health physical therapy.
