Preoperative physical health and psychosocial characteristics influence postoperative mobility in veterans following total knee arthroplasty: A structural equation modeling approach
Latent constructs representing physical health and psychosocial traits were directly related in veterans scheduled for TKA. Elevated psychosocial characteristics observed before TKA were associated with decreased life space mobility at 12 weeks post-TKA. Our findings support addressing psychosocial factors before and throughout TKA rehabilitation as these may have implications on postoperative life space mobility.
