| Popis: | An older patient who has had total knee replacement surgery may be afraid about falling. Fear of falling following TKR and its effects on physical activity have received little attention. The purpose of this study was to see if there was a link between physical activity and fear of falling in individuals with TKR. The PASE Scale is used to measure physical activity. The fall efficacy scale is reliable measure for assessing fear of falling. The objective of the current study was to assess physical activity and fear of fall and to find Correlation of physical activity with fear of fall in patients with TKR. This research was conducted in the Physiotherapy OPD, in AVBRH Hospital in Wardha. The results of 60 TKR patients were studied. The PASE scale and the FES were used to measure physical activity and fear of falling, respectively. This study significantly showed that the correlation between PASE and FES was negative which means that there is Fear of Fall among participants who undergone TKR which was associated with decrease in physical activity score. Most of the studies indicated that there is decrease in physical activity in patients with TKR but very few studies indicated fear of fall in the patients. Therefore, the current study is being carried out which could help to reach the conclusion to find whether there is any correlation between physical activity and fear of fall in patients undergone TKR. |
