Abstract

This thesis investigates gait neuromechanics in knee osteoarthritis and after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Key findings include the importance of correcting for walking speed in gait analysis, the link between gait pattern deviations and functional limitations after TKA, and the potential of gait adaptability as a predictor for successful recovery. It emphasizes that understanding and adjusting gait patterns can significantly impact rehabilitation and physical function in TKA patients.
