Recovery of mobility after knee arthroplasty (2003)
Journal Article
Lamb, S. E., & Frost, H. (2003). Recovery of mobility after knee arthroplasty. Journal of Arthroplasty, 18(5), 575-582. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0883-5403%2803%2900110-4

Mobility was measured in 79 people 6 months after knee arthroplasty using timed tests of stair climbing and walking speed. Recovery rates were calculated in comparison with a preoperative assessment. Changes in leg extensor power, knee flexion range,... Read More about Recovery of mobility after knee arthroplasty.

ABSTRACT Background and Purpose. Walking is an important functional activity and the shuttle walking test has been shown to be a useful test for patients with chronic airways obstruction and heart failure. The test has been used in low back pain rese... Read More about Reliability and responsiveness of the shuttle walking test in patients with chronic low back pain.
