Abstract
Background Patient recovery can be quantified objectively, via gait analysis, or subjectively, using patient reported outcome measures. Association between these measures would explain the level of disability reported in patient reported outcome measures and could assist with therapeutic decisions. Methods Total knee replacement outcome was assessed using objective classification and patient-reported outcome measures (Knee Outcome Survey and Oxford Knee Scores). A classifier was trained to distinguish between healthy and osteoarthritic characteristics using knee kinematics, ground reaction force and temporal gait data, combined with anthropometric data from 32 healthy and 32 osteoarthritis knees. For the osteoarthritic cohort, classification of 20 subjects quantified changes at up to 3 timepoints post-surgery. Findings Osteoarthritic classification was reduced for 17 subjects when comparing pre- to post-operative assessments, however only 6 participants achieved non-pathological classification and only 4 of these were classified as non-pathological at 12 months. In 15 cases, the level of osteoarthritic classification did not decrease between every post-operative assessment. For an individual's recovery, classification outputs correlated (r > 0.5) with knee outcome survey for 75% of patients and oxford knee score for 78% of patients (based on 20 and 9 subjects respectively). Classifier outputs from all visits of the combined total knee replacement sample correlated moderately with knee outcome survey (r > 0.4) and strongly with oxford knee score (r > 0.6). Interpretation Biomechanical deficits existed in most subjects despite improvements in Patient Reported Outcome Measures, with larger changes reported subjectively as compared to measured objectively. Objective Classification provides additional insight alongside Patient Reported Outcomes when reporting recovered outcomes.
