The purpose of this study is to examine whether the effect of "hiking poles exercise" on lower extremity muscular strength, knee range of motion, and quality of life in elderly patients underwent total knee arthroplasty
This is a longitudinal-experimental study. The data collection and analysis are in a single-blind manner. The study will be undertaken in the Department Orthopaedics of En Chu Kong hospital (approximate 500-bed regional teaching hospital). All patients who meet the inclusion criteria are admitted for primary total knee arthroplasty and assigned to control group or intervention group randomly. The 44 patients in the control group received routine guidance of " Rehabilitation and precautions for artificial knee replacement ". In addition to the routine guidance, the 44 patients in the intervention group received educations of " hiking poles exercise " on the day before surgery and before discharge, as well as a follow-up call at least once a week after discharge.

| Total knee arthroplasty of Quality of life | I hope the Walking stick exercise can to improving the total knee arthroplasty quality of life of patients. I use Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS). There are 5 territories analyzed in the knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score (KOOS) calculator and a knee-related QOL, Scores are transformed to a 0-100 scale, with zero representing extreme knee problems and 100 representing no knee problems as common in orthopedic scales and generic measures. Scores between 0 and 100 represent the percentage of the total possible score achieved. Furthermore, I will follow up to study on the day before surgery at 1, 6, and 12 weeks post-surgery. | for three months |
