Relationships between joint angle variability across terrains and knee arthroplasty satisfaction

Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) procedures are prevalent throughout the United States [1]. Patients often experience dissatisfaction and asymmetric gait post-TKA. Seven TKA patients conducted walking trials on three different terrains as well as completed a satisfaction survey. Initial findings identify possible relationships between stride variability and satisfaction on the track and unpaved surfaces.
