Prospective Evaluations of Patients with Journey II BCS in Gait Biomechanics, Proprioception, Balance and Functional Capacities<\/h3>\n

Purpose: <\/strong>This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Journey II BCS knee joint replacement.<\/p>\n

Commitment: <\/strong>You will be asked to participate in a total of two testing sessions over six months. All tests will be performed in the Health, Physical Education, and Recreation Building Biomechanics and Sports Medicine Lab (HPER 136), Knoxville, TN, 37996. Each full testing session will last approximately two to three hours. The testing sessions will include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Filling out forms to evaluate your overall health, knee replacement health and satisfaction, and your limitations to daily living<\/li>\n
  2. Clinical Function Tests to evaluate your ability to move in ways that are typically required throughout a day; these tests include:\n
      \n
    1. Getting out of a chair, walking a short distance, returning to the chair, and sitting back down<\/li>\n
    2. Standing up and sitting back down in a chair<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    3. Balance tests<\/li>\n
    4. Proprioception tests (tests evaluating your ability to recreate certain movements without looking)<\/li>\n
    5. Walking on a level surface and on stairs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      The following is the time table for each session, and what to expect:<\/p>\n
