Abstract

In this study our aim is to identify knee flexion required for climbing a standard chair according to the body height of a person.200 people having no problems with their knees in different body heights are included in the study. Maximum knee flexions that are required to climb over a 42 cm chair, which is the average height of 15 chairs sold in the market, have been measured. The procedure for climbing over the chair is conducted in the same manner with every patient. Knee flexions required by the subjects and their body heights have been recorded.It has been observed that the changes in knee flexion is in inverse proportion with body height. A table is constituted by separating the body heights of the subjects into groups of 10cm and recording the amounts of flexions required while climbing to the chair.Particularly, one of the most important expectations of total knee arthroplasty patients is to have sufficient knee flexion. The functional lower limit should be known when the widest movement range is targeted preoperatively.A table has been produced for "required knee flexion-change according to the body height" regarding the movement of climbing to a height, which is one of the most important functions of the patients.

Özet

Çalışmamızda amacımız, insanın standart bir sandalyenin üzerine çıkabilmesi için gereken diz fleksiyonunun boya göre tespitidir.Değişik boy uzunluğunda, dizlerinden sorunu olmayan 200 kişi çalışmaya alındı. Bu kişiler piyasada satılan 15 sandalyenin ortalama yüksekliği olan 42 cm'lik sandalyenin üzerine çıkarken gerekli olan maksimum diz fleksiyonları ölçüldü. Sandalyenin üzerine çıkma her hastada aynı prosedüre uygun yapıldı. Deneklerin ihtiyaç duydukları diz fleksiyonu ile boy uzunlukları kayıt edildi.Dizin fleksiyondaki değişimlerinin boy ile ters orantılı olduğu gözlendi. Deneklerin boyları 10'ar cm.'lik gruplara ayrılarak sandalye üzerine çıkarken gerek duyulan fleksiyonları ile tablo oluşturuldu.Özellikle total diz artroplastisinde hastaların en önemli beklentilerinden biri de dizinin yeterli fleksiyona gelmesidir. Ameliyat öncesi planlamada en geniş hareket açıklığı hedeflenirken fonksiyonel alt sınır bilinmelidir.Hastaların en önemli fonksiyonlarından biri olan yükseğe tırmanma hareketi için "gerekli diz fleksiyonu-hastanın boyu ile değişimi" tablosu oluşturulmuştur.
