Abstract

Takatomo Mine

Standing up from and sitting down on a chair is one of most important movements for daily living. The decrease of these activities complicated with aging or brain disease is an important issue. TKA has a beneficial effect on knee function. TKA has been designed to restore the knee to a performance level close to that of a normal knee.
