Sedentary Behavior, Cadence, and Physical Activity Outcomes after Knee Arthroplasty

PURPOSEThis study comprehensively examined sedentary behaviour and physical activity patterns in people with severe knee osteoarthritis awaiting total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and in individuals after TKA. METHODSPre-operative (n=32, mean ± SD = 69.9 ± 5.3 yr) and one-year post-operative participants...

Description
Summary:PURPOSEThis study comprehensively examined sedentary behaviour and physical activity patterns in people with severe knee osteoarthritis awaiting total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and in individuals after TKA. METHODSPre-operative (n=32, mean ± SD = 69.9 ± 5.3 yr) and one-year post-operative participants with TKA (n=38, 67.9 ± 7.3 yr) wore ActiGraph GT3X+ activity monitors for 6.8 ± 0.6 days. Total sedentary time, time in long sedentary bouts (≥ 30 min) and physical activity outcomes (steps, time in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity [MVPA], cadence) were examined. RESULTSThere were no differences between pre- and post-operative groups for total sedentary time (9.3 ± 1.4 hours per day vs. 9.2 ± 1.4, P=0.62) and number of long sedentary bouts per day (median [interquartile range] = 3.4 [1.9] vs. 3.1 [2.0], P=0.37). Daily steps, peak 30-min cadence, and peak 1-min cadence values were greater in people after TKA compared to those awaiting surgery (5935 [3316] vs. 3724 [2338], 55.6 [31.0] vs. 35.9 [19.3] and 91.5 ± 20.6 vs. 70.0 ± 23.7 respectively, all P
