Overview

Randomized trial compares closed and open kinetic chain exercises on strength and balance in elderly women post-TKA, suggesting CKC exercises offer greater benefits.

Key Points

  • Both CKC and OKC exercises improved muscle strength and balance following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in elderly women.
  • The CKC group showed significant improvements in knee extension strength with a p-value of 0.013.
  • All groups experienced enhancements in range of motion (ROM) and gait performance, notably through the 6-minute walk test.
  • CKC exercises may provide superior benefits in gait performance post-TKA compared to OKC exercises.
