| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study was to determine objective changes in physical activity of daily life and quality of life (QOL) of more than 65-year-old patients before, and 6 and 24 months after undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The mean number of steps walked and the intensity of physical activity differed significantly between before, and 6 and 24 months after TKA (p < 0.001). The preoperative SF-8 scores and the total OKS improved 24 months after TKA compared with that before TKA. No significant difference was observed between the TKA patients who had undergone TKA 24 months prior and the healthy persons. And, the recommended physical activity standard value of the senior citizen (than 10 METs-h/week) was exceeded.
