    The relationship between knee integrity and function post total knee replacement
    (2008-10-13T10:34:39Z) Lally, Candace
    ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to determine if there is a relationship between knee integrity and function in patients who have had a total knee replacement. Twenty-two patients were selected at the arthroplasty clinics at the Johannesburg Hospital and Chris Hani Baragwaneth Hospital. This occurred at six weeks following a primary total knee replacement. Twenty-two subjects who participated in the study underwent two tests. The first test measured the patients’ functional ability using the Iowa Level of Assistance (ILOA) Scale. Knee integrity was measured using the Knee Society Knee Score. The two examiners were blinded to each other’s results. The results indicate that there is no relationship between knee integrity measured using the Knee Society Knee Score and function measured using the ILOA Scale (p= 0.19).
