Comparison Between Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty on Short-Term Performance-Based Outcomes and Factors Associated with the Improvement of Gait Function During Post-Acute Inpatient Rehabilitation.

: Data on the differences in functional recovery between inpatient rehabilitation for total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are lacking, and the factors influencing the improvement of short-term functional mobility remain unknown. In this study, we compared the short-term functional outcomes of both procedures and identified early postoperative predictors of physical function gain during post-acute rehabilitation. : A total of 435 patients who underwent THA and TKA were included.

Factors affecting short-term functional gain following total knee arthroplasty in patients aged from 75 years at a postacute rehabilitation setting.

The intensive rehabilitation of older patients after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is vital for short-term improvement in mobility and daily living activities. We aimed to investigate the effectiveness of multidisciplinary rehabilitation and assess the early postoperative predictors that are associated with functional gain in TKA patients aged from 75 years in a postacute care setting. This study included 190 patients following primary TKA who were admitted at the postacute rehabilitation hospital.

Factors Affecting the Length of Convalescent Hospital Stay Following Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty.

Objectives: : An important role of convalescent rehabilitation wards is the short-term improvement of mobility and activities of daily living (ADL). We aimed to identify predictors associated with the length of stay (LOS) in a convalescent hospital after total hip and knee arthroplasty.

Methods: : This study included 308 patients hospitalized in a convalescent ward following total hip or total knee arthroplasty.
