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.
