Evaluation of Movement and Muscular Alterations in Subjects With Severe Knee Osteoarthritis Who Are to Receive a Total Knee Replacement
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease. It is characterized by a progressive destruction of all the components of the joint, especially the cartilage. This leads to pain, loss of mobility and can be a major handicap for some patients. Gonarthrosis, or osteoarthritis of the knee, affects 30% of people between the ages of 65 and 75 and is one of the most disabling conditions. In the final stage, the only therapeutic option to relieve patients is to replace the joint with a total knee prosthesis. Thanks to the contribution of an evaluation technique based on inertial sensors (X-SENS device), our objective is to better evaluate and understand the movement deficit in knee OA subjects. The hypothesis is that, thanks to the contribution of a technique based on inertial sensors (X-SENS), the investigators can better evaluate the movement deficit of knee OA subjects. The goal is to propose specific, rapid telekinetic biomarkers, allowing a better evaluation of functional improvements following therapeutic interventions, such as a total knee replacement.
• Patient over 60 years old
• Presence of unilateral knee osteoarthritis (Kellgren and Lawrence radiographic stage ≥ 3) in the femorotibial compartment and/or Iwano stage ≥2 in the femoropatellar compartment);
• Average VAS (Visual Analogic Scale) pain on a reference joint (knee) \> 40/100 during the past month.
• Indication for prosthetic knee surgery (total knee replacement)
• Failure of a well-conducted medical treatment (at least one prior infiltration with corticoids or hyaluronic acid or PRP (Platelet-rich plasma))
