Objectives: Typical rehabilitation programs following total hip arthroplasty and total knee arthroplasty include joint range of motion and muscle-strengthening exercises. Balance and balance exercises following total hip arthroplasty and total knee arthroplasty have not received much attention. The purpose of this study was to determine whether an intervention of balance exercises added to a typical rehabilitation program positively affects patients’ balance. Methods: A total of 63 patients were provided with outpatient physical therapy at their home. Patients were randomly assigned to either typical (n = 33) or balance (n = 30) exercise group. The typical group completed seven typical surgery-specific joint range of motion and muscle-strengthening exercises, while the balance group completed the typical exercises plus three balance exercises. After 5 weeks of administering the rehabilitation program, patients’ balance was assessed on a force plate using 95% ellipse area of the center of pressure amplitude. Results: Patients in the balance group demonstrated significant reduction in the 95% ellipse area for the anterior and posterior lean standing conditions (p < 0.01). Conclusion: Balance exercises added to the typical outpatient physical therapy program resulted in significantly greater improvements in balance for participants with total hip arthroplasty or total knee arthroplasty, compared to the typical exercise program alone. Physical therapists might consider the use of balance exercises to improve balance in individuals in the acute post-operative phase following total hip arthroplasty or total knee arthroplasty.

<B>Objective:</B> To evaluate the effect of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)-characteristic rehabilitation program on levels of pain and swelling after total knee arthroplasty. <B>Methods:</B> A total of 72 in-patients who recovered from total knee arthroplasty in our department were selected as the study subjects. They were divided into two groups according to a random number table: the control group (n = 36) with routine nursing and the treatment group (n = 36) with TCM rehabilitation nursing. The pain scores and joint swelling were statistically analyzed. <B>Results:</B> The pain scores in the treatment group were lower than those in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05).<B>Conclusion:</B> The implementation of a TCM rehabilitation program for patients after total knee arthroplasty can effectively and quickly reduce the pain and swelling of the affected limb, promote the local blood circulation, and promote the quality of life of patients after rehabilitation.

The present study describes and compares the early functional results after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) of the oldest-old population (aged over 84 years) and a randomly matched younger septuagenarian cohort so treated. We aimed to evaluate the early functional outcomes after patients’ rehabilitation and the yearly requirements for hospital readmission and emergency room visits after TKA. We noted a similar length of hospital stay for octogenarian and septuagenarian patients, and we determined that both groups of patients were improving ROM (both flexion and extension) after the rehabilitation program (p < 0.05, in all cases), but there were no significant differences between octogenarian and septuagenarian improvement of the knee function (p > 0.05, in all cases). Patients from both age groups behaved similarly in terms of mobility before starting rehabilitation and after completion of the rehabilitation program. We noted that older octogenarian patients showed a higher one-year hospital readmission rate than younger septuagenarian patients, but similar early emergency room visits for both age groups. The findings of this study allow us to conclude that advanced age in itself should not be a contraindication for TKA.
