要旨

Background:

Arthroscopic partial meniscectomy is one of the most commonly performed orthopedic procedures, yet many patients remain dissatisfied in the early postoperative period. Whether dissatisfaction is reflected in changes in spatiotemporal gait parameters remains unclear but such information could help the early identification of patients at risk of poor outcomes. This prospective observational cohort study aimed to assess gait parameters in patients after partial meniscectomy using foot-worn wearable sensors and to evaluate their potential as indicators of postoperative satisfaction.

Methods:

In this study 27 patients scheduled for partial meniscectomy were prospectively enrolled; the final group comprised 22 patients who completed all assessments. Gait parameters were measured preoperatively and at 1 and 2 months postoperatively. At final follow-up, patients rated their satisfaction. Patients were categorized as satisfied (n = 18) or dissatisfied (n = 4).

Results:

Significant improvements in stride length (p < 0.01) and walking speed (p = 0.01) were observed at 2 months postoperatively in the entire group. Among satisfied patients, both stride length and walking speed significantly improved (p < 0.01), whereas in the dissatisfied subgroup cadence and walking speed did not return to baseline values. Patient satisfaction was best predicted by an increase in cadence, with a positive predictive value of 93% (95% confidence interval, CI 72-99%).

Conclusion:

Patients who reported satisfaction demonstrated improvements in gait parameters, with cadence emerging as the strongest predictor of postoperative satisfaction.

Indicators

Certain organic substances change color in dilute solution when the hydronium ion concentration reaches a particular value. For example, phenolphthalein is a colorless substance in any aqueous solution with a hydronium ion concentration greater than 5.0 × 10−9 M (pH < 8.3). In more basic solutions where the hydronium ion concentration is less than 5.0 × 10−9 M (pH > 8.3), it is red or pink. Substances such as phenolphthalein, which can be used to determine the pH of a solution, are...

Respiratory Assessment: Purpose and Indications

Respiratory Assessment: Purpose and Indications

Respiratory assessment is a cornerstone of nursing assessments, crucial for the early detection of patient deterioration. This evaluation transcends routine procedures, representing a critical skill nurses must master to ensure optimal patient care.
Objectives and Importance:
The primary goal of respiratory assessment is to evaluate patients at early risk of clinical deterioration. Since respiratory distress often precedes other signs of declining health, breathing patterns and sounds become a...

Mixtures of Gases: Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures and Mole Fractions

Mixtures of Gases: Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures and Mole Fractions

Unless individual gases chemically react with each other, the individual gases in a mixture of gases do not affect each other’s pressure. Each gas in a mixture exerts the same pressure that it would exert if it were present alone in the container. The pressure exerted by each individual gas in a mixture is called its partial pressure.

Mechanical Ventilation I: Indication and Settings

Mechanical Ventilation I: Indication and Settings

Mechanical ventilation is a life-saving technique for managing acute respiratory failure and other respiratory complications. The process involves using a machine known as a ventilator to supply oxygen to the lungs and assist in removing carbon dioxide. It serves as a bridge to long-term mechanical ventilation or a temporary measure until ventilatory support is discontinued. The ventilator can maintain this function for a prolonged period, providing critical support for patients until they can...

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching I: Assessment and Diagnosis

The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.
It is critical to determine the patient's learning needs during the assessment. Determination of learning needs compounds data...

Dalton's Law of Partial Pressure

Dalton's Law of Partial Pressure

The partial pressure of a gas is a measure of the thermodynamic activity of the gas's molecules. The pressure that a gas would create if it occupied the total volume available is called the gas's partial pressure. If two or more gases are mixed together in a container, the molecules move randomly and collide with each other, causing them to reach thermal equilibrium. When the gases have the same temperature, their molecules have the same average kinetic energy. Thus, each gas obeys the...
