Abstract
Objectives: We assessed physical function by three different methods in patients with knee osteoarthritis just before total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and investigated the relationship between impairment of mobility and preoperative factors.
Methods: All patients scheduled to undergo TKA at our hospital were assessed for basic attributes, clinical assessment, radiography, whole-body mode DXA, knee muscle strength. And frailty, sarcopenia, and locomotive syndrome (LS) were evaluated.
Results: Among 204 patients (213 knees),172 women, mean age 75.0 years, the overall distribution in frailty was ; in sarcopenia ; and in LS . Eighty-seven percent of the patients with frailty and 92% with LS stage 3 did not suffer from sarcopenia. Statistically significant relationships were observed between sarcopenia and frailty, while no relationship between LS and frailty or LS and sarcopenia. Multivariate analysis of related factors with severity level for frailty and LS revealed statistically significant correlations for frailty with gait speed and LS with KSS and muscle strength.
Conclusion: In the patients with knee OA immediately before arthroplasty, physical frailty and LS was not related with by sarcopenia. Knee joint dysfunction without sarcopenia was well reflected by LS, not by physical frailty.
