Study start date: March 1, 2013

Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.

The purpose of this study will be to find out the effect of two different interventions on muscle strength, ability to produce muscle force quickly (power), daily function, and number of steps and physical activity an individual with total knee replacement do daily. The research hypotheses for this study will be as follows: For individuals who are at least 6 months post-total knee replacement, home-based high-velocity training exercises will result in significantly greater improvements in muscle strength and power compared to those who receive a walking program only. For individuals who are at least 6 months post-total knee replacement, home based high-velocity training exercises will result in significantly greater improvements of daily function(eg. sit to stand, climb a set of stairs)than those who receive a walking program only. For individuals who are at least 6 months post-total knee replacement, home based high-velocity training exercises will result in significantly greater improvements in physical activity behavior (eg. number of steps per day)compared to those who receive a walking program only.

From 40 to 75 Years

Range of ages for which participants are eligible to join.

Healthy volunteers allowed

If individuals who are healthy and do not have the condition being studied can participate.

Criteria

1 inclusion criteria required to participate
Men and women who are at least 40 years of age will qualify if they had a primary unilateral total knee replacement (TKR) 6 to 18 months
7 exclusion criteria prevent from participating
decreased cognitive status that might affect the ability to follow instructions
diagnosis of neurologic deficits
diagnosis of severe osteoarthritis in the uninvolved knee or either hip joints
other lower extremity prosthetic implants other than the current TKR
