Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate sports activities after total knee arthroplasty in an Asian cohort using 2011 Knee Society scoring system. The average scores for satisfaction and expectation about sports-related activities were 4.9 (61%) and 3.5 (70%), respectively. Most patients mainly opted for low-impact sports. Multivariate analysis showed that higher score of 'standard activities' and 'walking & standing', better range of motion, and older age were associated with higher scores of satisfaction and expectation about sports-related activities. In conclusion, improvement of activities of daily living could provide higher satisfaction and expectation about performing recreational sports, workout and gym activities.
