Summary

Preoperative rehabilitation before total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has not been proven to be effective. Latest meta-analyzes do not find any improvement of motor performance during gait 6 months after surgery. However, most of the previous studies did not specifically target muscle atrophy to design rehabilitation protocol. Pre-operative muscle atrophy, although not systematic, is often observed. The preoperative muscles volumes of thigh muscles have been poorly identified and never used to adjust the pre operative rehabilitation strategy. As part of the "FOLLOWKNEE" (RHU) project, which attempts to implement a personalized management of TKA and its follow-up, this study wants to explore the potential effect of adapted treatment to improve muscle force and muscle volume before TKA.

Conditions

• Gonarthrosis
• Arthroplasty

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Personalized rehabilitation program with electrostimulation	Patient with knee arthroplasty indication. After clinical assessment and a MRI measurement of muscle volume, patients start a 2 hours daily rehabilitation including 2 times 20 minutes of electrostimulation of atrophied muscles, 3 days per week during 4 weeks.
OTHER	Global rehabilitation program	Patient with knee arthroplasty indication. After clinical assessment and a MRI measurement of muscle volume, patient start a 2 hours daily rehabilitation targeting muscles groups with strengthening and stretching exercises, 3 days per week during 4 weeks.
