ABSTRACT

Introduction: Knee arthroplasty is one of the surgery techniques more used nowadays. The rehabilitation after the operation is fundamental for it success, nevertheless the huge assistance pressure of the spanish rehabilitation departments delay the beginning of the treatments. For that reason we have decided to compare two treatment programs: individual and group with the hypothesis that the group treatment is more effective. Material and methods: We have made an intervention study with 53 patients operated in our hospital (arthroplasty knee because of osteoarthritis): after the surgery, 16 patients received individual rehabilitation treatment and 37 patients group therapy. The patients have been evaluated between the 2-5 weeks after the surgery and 2 months after the first evaluation. The variables analyzed were: gender, age, weight, size, scale of osteoarthritis, pain, joint balance, muscle testing, quadriceps muscle atrophy, Lequesne index and a measure of «success» that we have defined. Outcomes and conclusions: After the statistical analysis we can state that in spite of the better success with the individual treatment we can’t answer to the hypothesis because of the insufficient sample size of our study.
