Abstract

Summary: Muscle strength condition after knee arthroplasty (KA) is crucial for returning to an active lifestyle. We showed that 5-14 months after surgery the hamstrings to quadriceps (HQ) ratio was significantly different between patients with total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). When creating rehabilitation or training plans, therapists and patients should consider that muscle adaptations after KA differ between prosthetic designs.
