Abstract
ObjectiveTo retrieve the evidence on rehabilitation functional exercise for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients both domestically and internationally, and summarize the best evidence to provide a basis for constructing a management plan of rehabilitation functional exercise for TKA patients.
MethodsUsing population, intervention, professional, outcome, setting and type of evidence (PIPOST) to construct evidence-based nursing issues, all evidence on rehabilitation functional exercise for TKA patients was searched through computers in the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Evidence-Based Health Care Center in Australia, British Medical Journal (BMJ) Best Practice, Embase, UpToDate, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, PubMed, American College of Sports Medicine, National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang Data and China Biomedical Literature Database. The Chinese and English search terms were "knee replacement/knee arthroplasty" and "functional training/exercise/strength training/early mobilization/recovery/ rehabilitation". The types of literature included guidelines, systematic reviews, summary of evidence, expert consensus, clinical decision-making, and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) . The search period was from the establishment of the database to January 10, 2023. Two researchers trained in evidence-based nursing independently completed the literature quality evaluation, and combined with professional judgment, extracted and summarized evidence for literature that met quality standards.
ResultsA total of 11 articles were included, including 4 guidelines, 4 systematic reviews, 2 RCTs, and 1 clinical decision-making. A total of 26 best evidence pieces were summarized from 5 aspects, namely multidisciplinary organizational management, pre-rehabilitation exercise, rehabilitation functional exercise plan, continuous function exercise, and exercise compliance.
ConclusionsThe best evidence summarized regarding rehabilitation functional exercise for TKA patients can provide a basis for medical and nursing staff to develop management plans. Medical and nursing staff need to consider clinical practice, patient's own condition, and willingness when applying evidence, and develop targeted rehabilitation functional exercise plans.
