This project is about the integrated rehabilitation program for the patients receiving total knee arthroplasty. The investigators are monitoring the WOMAC(Western Ontario and Mcmaster University Arthritis Index)/ Pain scores/Anxiety scores/Knee society scores in the treatment course between the intervention group and the control group.
This is a quasi-experimental design study. The participants received total knee arthroplasty by one single surgeon in two facilities within the same medical system (Kaohsiung Medical University affiliated hospitals). The intervention groups received integrated rehabilitation program including verbal one-on-one education, personalized post-operation rehabilitation during admission and scheduled post-operation follow up by a nurse case manager. The control group received the same surgery with traditional clinical pathway by the single surgeon in another affiliated hospital.
We recorded the pain scores, state-trait anxiety inventory scores, WOMAC(Western Ontario and Mcmaster Universities Arthritis Index) scores, American Knee society scores for these participants.
3,554 studies on the registry are indexed under Arthritis; 317 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 70 is below the median of 90 across 2,377 interventional studies indexed under Arthritis.

Exclusion Criteria
the intervention was performed in one KMUH affiliated facility
Procedure: integrated rehabilitation (the collaborative patient education)
no integrated rehabilitatoin program for total knee arthroplasty patients with our conventional clinical pathway
Pre-operative education and rehabilitation. During hospitalization: group rehabilitation education program. Discharge: post-operative care navigation for total knee arthroplasty
Visual Analogue Pain Score (VAS)
Minimum pain intensity from 0 to Maximum of 10. Higher scores mean a higher pain intensity.
Time frame: From admission to 3 months after surgery
State-trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)
Peri-operative anxiety scoring system. STAI varies from a minimum score of 20 to a maximum score of 80. STAI scores are commonly classified as "no or low anxiety" (20-37), "moderate anxiety" (38-44), and "high anxiety" (45-80). Higher scores mean higher anxiety.
Time frame: From admission to 3 months after surgery
American Knee Society Scores(AKS)
The AKS ranges from 100 (normal knee function score) to 0 (worst knee function score). Higher scores mean a better outcome.
Time frame: From admission to 3 months after surgery
WOMAC (Western Ontario and Mcmaster Universities Arthritis Index)
The WOMAC evaluates 3 dimensions : pain(maximal score of 20), stiffness(maximal score of 8), and physical function(maximal score of 68). Higher scores mean worse outcomes.
Time frame: From admission to 3 months after surgery
