You are required to conduct research on the effectiveness of physical therapy in treating patients who have undergone Total Knee Replacement (TKR) surgery to assist them to walk without support, after 6 weeks. You need to ensure all information collected is relevant to the identified research objective.

 

Research objective:

  • To assess whether physical therapy assists patients who have undergone Total Knee Replacement (TKR) surgery to walk without support, after 6 weeks.

 

You are to access the following two (2) sources, and answer the questions below:

 

  • Source 1

‘A randomized trial to compare exercise treatment methods for patients after total knee replacement: protocol paper.’

https://bmcmusculoskeletdisord.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12891-015-0761-5

 

  • Source 2

‘Early High Intensity Rehabilitation Following Total Knee Arthroplasty ImprovesOutcomes.’

https://www.jospt.org/doi/10.2519/jospt.2011.3734

 

Research objective/s:

  • To assess whether physical therapy assists patients who have undergone Total Knee Replacement (TKR) surgery to walk without support, after 6 weeks.

 

  1. Identify at least two (2) methods you can use to gather information about the effectiveness of physical therapy in helping patients walk without assistance, 6 weeks after TKR surgery. Briefly explain why the selected methods are suitable for this research project.

 

 

  1. Using the two (2) sources identified above, gather information systematically. Ensure you answer the following:

Muscle A 34-year-old African American female presents with extreme fatigue after competing in a marathon. The patient is having difficulty moving and only does so with assistance from others. The patient did not make the finish line before collapsing. After examination the patient is diagnosed with Physiologic Contracture which is also known a physiological fatigue (as opposed to psychological fatigue). TAKE NOTE: After strenuous exercise or muscle use, the ATP in a muscle fiber is nearly depleted. Using your knowledge of human physiology and the Sliding Filament Model, which of the following do you predict will most likely occur during the Cross-Bridge Cycle with little or no cellular ATP? A. The muscle will neither contract nor relax as normal B. The muscle contraction will continue as normal C. Muscle tissue begins to decay "D. Mitochondria will increase cellular respiration to compensate for the lack of ATP
