Movement pattern biofeedback training after total knee arthroplasty: Randomized clinical trial protocol

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) reduces joint symptoms, but habitual movement compensations persist years after surgery. Preliminary research on movement training interventions have signaled initial efficacy for remediating movement compensations and restoring knee joint loading symmetry during dynamic functional tasks after TKA. The purpose of this clinical trial is to determine if physical rehabilitation that includes movement training restores healthy movement patterns after TKA and reduces the risk of osteoarthritis (OA) progression in the contralateral knee.
