Effect of Foam Rolling After Total Knee Arthroplasty

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of foam rolling in patients who have undergone total knee arthroplasty on pain, knee mobility, leg muscle strength, the ability to sense joint position, fear of movement, walking, balance, and the ability to perform daily activities. A total of 26 patients, with 13 patients in each group, will be included in the study. Participants will be randomly assigned to two groups. One group will receive the routine rehabilitation program, while the other group will receive foam rolling in addition to the routine rehabilitation program. Foam rolling and rehabilitation exercises will be taught at the Dokuz Eylül University Orthopedics and Traumatology Outpatient Clinic, and you will be asked to perform these exercises at home. The foam rolling group will perform foam rolling 6 days per week, 2 sets per day, with 3 repetitions of 60 seconds each. The control group will not perform foam rolling and will follow the routine rehabilitation program. The standard rehabilitation program will consist of strengthening exercises in different directions for the entire leg, range-of-motion exercises, stretching exercises, and walking exercises. You will be asked to perform the exercises for 3 sets of 10 repetitions per day. The assessments in the study will be performed at the second postoperative week (test 1), sixth postoperative week (test 2), and fourteenth postoperative week (test 3). These time points are also times when you would normally visit your doctor for routine follow-up; therefore, you will not be expected to make any additional hospital visits for the study. The study will continue for 1 year, and each patient will be followed for 14 weeks. Pain will be assessed using a single-question questionnaire. Walking, functional level, and leg muscle strength will be assessed using short performance tests involving sitting-to-standing and walking activities, as well as a questionnaire. Knee joint range of motion and proprioception will be assessed by measuring the angles of your knee using a ruler-like plastic device. Fear of movement will be assessed using a short questionnaire. All assessments will take no more than 20 minutes. The results will be determined by examining whether there are differences in these measurements between the different assessment time points.

NEUROCUPLE™ as an Opioid Alternative Following Total Knee Arthroplasty

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the NEUROCUPLE device can reduce pain and opioid use after primary unilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in adults. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the NEUROCUPLE device reduce postoperative pain at rest during the first 24 hours after TKA? * Does the NEUROCUPLE device reduce opioid consumption during the first 24 hours after TKA? Researchers will compare the NEUROCUPLE device to a placebo device (identical in appearance but inactive) to see if the device reduces pain and opioid use after surgery. Participants will: * Apply the NEUROCUPLE device or placebo device for 7 days following surgery * Have their pain and opioid use monitored through clinical records and patient reporting * Report pain at rest and during movement on postoperative Days 2 and 7 * Be assessed for nausea, vomiting, device-related side effects, length of hospital stay, and overall satisfaction

Femoral Triangle Block vs Adductor Canal Block on Early Quadriceps Function After Total Knee Arthroplasty

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of femoral triangle block (FTB) and adductor canal block (ACB) on early quadriceps function after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The main question it aims to answer is whether FTB causes more early quadriceps functional impairment than ACB under a standardized multimodal analgesia protocol. Researchers will compare FTB and ACB using a composite binary functional outcome measured 6 hours after block completion. Quadriceps functional impairment is defined as the inability to perform a structured straight leg raise or quadriceps muscle strength \<50% of the preoperative baseline. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive ultrasound-guided FTB or ACB. All participants will also receive a popliteal plexus block and standardized multimodal analgesia.

REIKI IN TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY PATIENTS (REIKI TKA )

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is commonly performed to improve mobility and quality of life in patients with degenerative joint diseases. However, severe postoperative pain, limited mobilization, and fluctuations in vital signs negatively affect recovery, particularly within the first 72 hours after surgery. Reiki is a non-invasive complementary therapy aimed at enhancing the body's self-healing capacity through energy transfer. This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effects of Reiki on postoperative pain, mobilization, and vital signs in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty. Participants will be randomly assigned to either a Reiki intervention group or a control group receiving routine postoperative care. Outcomes will be assessed using validated pain and mobility scales and objective vital sign measurements at the 24th, 48th, and 72nd postoperative hours.
