ROM affects individuals’ activities carried out during the day ( 3). Normal activities of daily living require a minimum of 105° and 110° of flexion, patients from non-Western cultures often engage in activities such as kneeling and squating that require higher flexion. The postoperative flexion is an important factor that affecting patient satisfaction after TKA. One of the most important aim of this treatment is to achieve an adequate ROM ( 1, 2). Range of motion (ROM) and relief from pain show success of TKA. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is an established method used in the treatment of end-stage knee osteoarthritis. Keywords: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) goniometric measurement range of motion (ROM) self-reported Self-reported measured ROM can use in the routine follow-ups to reduce surgeons, physiotherapist and other staff. At the same time, it would reduce the financial burden too. They could reasonably be expected to lower the burden on both the patient and the clinician without eliminating contact and thus sacrificing quality of care. Patient self-reported questionnaires and self-goniometric measurement are used by many investigators to decrease this burden on the surgeon or staff, and in combination with telemedicine radiographs might be a reasonable option to routine clinic visits. Long-term surveillance of joint arthroplasty is necessary, but it has also become increasingly burdensome as greater numbers of TKAs are performed, and in younger populations. The follow-up interval and duration remain dependent on the physician’s anticipation of the clinical progress of the individual patient. The clinical follow-up of patients is an important part of postoperative care after TKA. Apart from the reliability and validity of the method, obtaining the same results from different examiners is very important. Joint mobility can be measured with visual estimates, universal goniometer, X-ray radiography, digital gravity goniometers and applications found in smart phones. The most important criteria in musculoskeletal care is assessing the joint mobility of the patient’s.
For this purpose, disease-specific questionnaires and self-reported ROM and function evaluation tools are also being developed. Numerous outcome instruments and patient-reported questionnaires are in use to evaluate of TKA patients. One of the most important aims of this treatment is to achieve an adequate ROM.
