Study Details

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a commonly performed surgical procedure aimed at reducing pain, restoring joint function, and improving quality of life, particularly among older women. Despite improvements in pain and functional outcomes following TKA, findings regarding balance, fall risk, and gait performance remain inconsistent. Impairments in these parameters may adversely affect daily activities, independence, and overall quality of life. Unlike previous studies that have primarily focused on one or two outcomes, this study will comprehensively evaluate balance, fall risk, gait performance, and quality of life in postmenopausal women who have undergone TKA. The findings are expected to provide a more holistic understanding of long-term functional outcomes following TKA and contribute to the planning of rehabilitation programs. Therefore, the aim of this study is to compare balance, fall risk, gait performance, and quality of life between postmenopausal women who have undergone TKA and healthy postmenopausal women.
