Elastic Band Exercise on Pain, Kinesophobia, Depression, and Functional Outcomes after TKA .
The effects of elastic band exercise on the pain, kinesiophobia, functional, and psychological status after total knee arthroplasty: a randomized controlled trial
Clin Rheumatol . 2022 Oct;41(10):3179-3188.Sixty patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty for degenerative arthritis were randomized to receive either elastic band exercise combined with an at-home exercise program (n=30) or an at-home exercise program alone (n=30). Outcomes of interest were pain scores measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Tampa Kinesiophobia scale, WOMAC scores, Beck's Depression Inventory, range of motion, and the 40-m brisk walking measurement. All outcomes were assessed at 4 weeks. Significantly better VAS, WOMAC, Tampa Kinesiophobia, and Beck Depression scores in the elastic band group were apparent. Active and passive flexion and the 40-m walking test were significantly better in the elastic band exercise group after 4 weeks.
