Background and Objective: Commonly, only different types of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are used
to measure outcomes post-total knee arthroplasty (TKA), despite their limitations. This review’s objectives were to: assess the
psychometric properties of commonly used PROMs and other objective tools to measure function post-TKA, such as: Performancebased
Outcome Measure (PBOMs), Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) and accelerometers to measure physical activity. In addition
to assess the tools used to measure patients’ satisfaction post-TKA.
Methods: A systematic review was conducted to investigate the available methods for measuring TKA outcomes. The
psychometric properties of each method were reviewed to recommend the best tools to capture accurately improvements in
function and satisfaction post-TKA.
Results and Conclusions: KOOS and OKS showed good reliability, validity and sensitivity with a post-TKA population. However,
patient function is multidimensional and requires more than just a questionnaire. Therefore, it is recommended to use other
objective methods in addition to PROMs, such as PBOMs, SEBT and reliable accelerometers to paint a detailed and accurate overall
recovery picture post-TKA. Four of the five PBOMs tests recommended by the Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI)
showed excellent to good psychometric properties with a post-TKA population. ActivPAL show good reliability and had advantages
over other accelerometers in its ability to accurately measure both volume- and event-based patterns. Using one question with
different options to answer to assess satisfaction is not accurate and so it is recommended to use satisfaction tools that cover each
issue in isolation to better understand the impact of each factor on satisfaction.
