This research aims to analyze the relationship between preoperative muscle mass and postoperative functional outcomes following total knee arthroplasty.
Applied a criteria-based protocol for early mobilization after total knee arthroplasty
Assessed preoperative muscle mass levels
Evaluated postoperative functional outcomes
Findings indicate a correlation between higher preoperative muscle mass and improved postoperative function
Patients with lower muscle mass experienced delayed recovery
Implications suggest monitoring muscle mass before surgery may enhance rehabilitation outcomes
