Evaluation of Mobility in Subjects With Severe Knee Osteoarthritis Who Are to Undergo Total Knee Replacement
Sponsor: University Hospital, Montpellier
Summary
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease. It is characterized by a progressive destruction of all the components of the joint, especially the cartilage. This leads to pain, loss of mobility and can be a major handicap for some patients. Gonarthrosis, or osteoarthritis of the knee, affects 30% of people between the ages of 65 and 75 and is one of the most disabling conditions. In the final stage, the only therapeutic option to relieve patients is to replace the joint with a total knee prosthesis. Thanks to the contribution of an evaluation technique based on inertial sensors (X-SENS device), our objective is to better evaluate and understand the movement deficit in knee OA subjects. The hypothesis is that, thanks to the contribution of a technique based on inertial sensors (X-SENS), the investigators can better evaluate the movement deficit of knee OA subjects. The goal is to propose specific, rapid telekinetic biomarkers, allowing a better evaluation of functional improvements following therapeutic interventions, such as a total knee replacement.

Interventions
X-sens sensor
the procedure will include: * 7 to 8 sensors (Foot, leg, thigh, pelvis and chest possibly). * 5 movements/exercises for the patients, each exercise performed 3 times except walking * Analysis of 20m walking cycle (normal speed, most natural arm movement, 4 return trips of 20m): * Climbing up and down stairs (using the public stairs of the rheumatology access department, 6 steps of 20 cm height, at normal speed, without using the handrail) * Getting up from a chair without the help of hands (start standing, then the patient sits, leans and stands up, feet together, without taking the feet off the floor, using one and the same chair for each patient with a height of 50 cm)
