    Maximal muscle force tested for one leg at a time in a Power Rig Mashine


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Functional performance [ Time Frame: 7 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Tested by: Timed Up & Go test, 10 meter fast speed walking test


Estimated Enrollment: 100
Study Start Date: January 2011
Study Completion Date: July 2012

Groups/Cohorts
Total arthroplasty
Patients with osteoarthrosis going for hip or knee arthroplasty

Detailed Description:

The investigators would like to be able to identify those patients, for whom it will take longest time to fulfill the discharge criteria. With this knowledge the investigators will be able to initiate sufficient treatment already before operation.
