Abstract

Purpose: This research was conducted to compare the effects of a muscle strengthening exercise program on pain, straight leg raising ability, passive range of motion, independent walking time and satisfaction with total knee arthroplasty(TKA). Method: A nonequivalent control group posttest only design was used for this study. A total of 62 patients were randomly divided into the experimental group(31) and the control group (31). The experimental group received a 1-hour exercise intervention, while the control group received the usual care. Data was analyzed by t-test using the SPSS/WIN 11.0. Results: The experimental group showed significant improvement in pain score, straight leg raising ability, passive range of motion of knee joint, independent walking time, and the patient's satisfaction. Conclusion: The muscle strengthening exercise program was effective on decreasing pain and increasing mobility and satisfaction in patients with TKA.
