ABSTRACT
The absence of uniformity, the use of different terminologies, and the diversity of methods used to translate numerical data into clinical outcomes have been described as potential problems when dealing with clinical knee scores for total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Gait analysis is believed to provide more objective parameters. The aim of the present study was to obtain information about the correlation between the outcome in terms of locomotion and the clinical knee score after TKA. Thirty consecutive patients awaiting TKA were involved in the study. One day prior to surgery and 3 months postoperatively, data pertaining to the Hospital for Special Surgery Score (HSS) and the Knee Society Score (KSS) (subgroups 'pain', 'knee', 'function' and 'total sum') were analyzed for correlations with kinematic and temporospatial parameters of gait analysis. At a significance-level of p=0.001 moderate correlations (0.4
