The influence of sociodemographic and health factors on adherence to home-based rehabilitation after fast-track total knee arthroplasty: secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial.

Purpose: Adherence to home rehabilitation following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is essential to reach optimal functional outcomes, especially in fast-track procedures. The aim of this study is to identify which sociodemographic and health factors significantly affect adherence in this context.

Methods: This is a secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial with 52 patients.

Quantifying Global Origin-Diagnostic Features and Patterns in Biotic and Abiotic Acyclic Lipids for Life Detection.

Lipids are a geologically robust class of organics ubiquitous to life as we know it. Lipid-like soluble organics are synthesized abiotically and have been identified in carbonaceous meteorites and on Mars. Ascertaining the origin of lipids on Mars would be a profound astrobiological achievement.

Telerehabilitation following fast-track total knee arthroplasty is effective and safe: a randomized controlled trial with the ReHub® platform.

Purpose: After a total knee arthroplasty (TKA), ensuring rehabilitation is continued at home is essential for a successful recovery. The aim of this randomized clinical trial (NCT04155957) was to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of an interactive telerehabilitation system (ReHub®) to guide and provide feedback during exercise in the postoperative period of a fast-track TKA program.

Methods: Fifty-two patients who underwent TKA were randomized to intervention ( = 26) or control ( = 26).

Introduction: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a surgery that aims to restore function and relieve pain in advanced osteoarthritis. The Educational Workshop (EW) for TKA is given to patients in the pre-surgery period to inform them and facilitating their participation in their health process (empowerment). The aim of this study was developing and validating a self-administered questionnaire to evaluate the acquired knowledge after the EW by the patients who will undergo the TKA procedure.
