Total Knee Arthroplasty Functional Outcomes Study Research Design

October 23, 2023 updated by: Restor3D
The purpose of this study is to obtain patient oriented and clinically oriented physical function outcomes both pre-operatively and post-operatively in patients receiving a total knee arthroplasty.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Terminated

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This study aims to use up to 75 patients at 3 centers to determine a baseline short-term post-operative physical function status of patients undergoing a total knee arthroplasty through patient and clinically based assessments. The KOOS score will collect data on the patient's physical function, stiffness and pain. The BERG balance, TUG, and TUDS tests will be used quantitatively to assess the patient's ability to conduct activities of daily living like walking for an extended period of time, standing from a seated position, and maintaining balance while performing a series of actions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

  • Patient is willing and able to comply with postoperative scheduled clinical and radiographic evaluations and rehabilitation

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with a primary diagnosis other than osteoarthritis of the knee as determined by an orthopedic surgeon
  • Patients who have had any previous lower extremity procedure

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Timed Functional Tests at 6 weeks
Time Frame: 6 weeks post-op
Assess patient functional outcomes over time. Comparing times from pre-op to post op of patients performing the same functional tests.
6 weeks post-op
Timed Functional testing at 6 months
Time Frame: 6 months post op
Assess patient functional outcomes over time. Comparing times from pre-op to post op of patients performing the same functional tests.
6 months post op
Timed Functional Testing at 1 year
Time Frame: 1 year post-op
Assess patient functional outcomes over time. Comparing times from pre-op to post op of patients performing the same functional tests.
1 year post-op

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Outcome questionnaires at 6 weeks
Time Frame: 6 weeks post-op
Assess knee pain and function scores over time. Comparing questionnaire scores from pre-op to post op of patients.
6 weeks post-op
Outcome questionnaires at 6 months
Time Frame: 6 months post-op
Assess knee pain and function scores over time. Comparing questionnaire scores from pre-op to post op of patients.
6 months post-op
Outcome questionnaires at 1 year
Time Frame: 1 year post op
Assess knee pain and function scores over time. Comparing questionnaire scores from pre-op to post op of patients.

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
