Gait Analysis as a Measure of Physical Performance in Managing Bilateral Knee Osteoarthritis in Elderly People
The investigators perform a prospective controlled study and assess gait parameters in bilateral knee osteoarthritis (KOA) elderly patients with wireless system - BTS G-WALK, pre- and post-rehabilitation program. The complete assessment include: ultrasound exam, gait parameters and functional scale.
The investigators investigate the real impact of complete rehabilitation program, with gait control, on the physical performance and functional status.
Inclusion: participants older than 65 years diagnosed with KOA according to ACR criteria, also accepted in our country; at least 5 years of disease progression; painful knee for a period of 48 hours after physical activity; absence of knee injuries at least 6 months before; absence of major disturbances in the frontal plane alignment of the knee; participants with other co-morbidities, but well controlled, like: arterial hypertension, dyslipidaemia and mellitus diabetes type II; a history of a symptomatic or complicated upper gastro-intestinal ulcer; compliance with physical exercise during the healthcare program.
Exclusion: unstable medical conditions preventing the patient from participating in the rehabilitation programs,; history of knee replacement,; neurological or any other conditions affecting strength or function of lower limbs.
