Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Age between 60 and 85 years
- Informed consent
- Receipt of elective unilateral primary knee arthroplasty surgery.

Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm 2
Arm Type
Experimental
No Intervention
Arm Label
Experimental:Walking stick exercise
Control group: conventional physical therapy.
Arm Description
The experimental:Walking stick exercise Education of walking stick exercise by research nurses twice before discharge (on the day before surgery and before discharge) The video clip of "walking stick exercise" is available to the patients. The research nurses encourage our patients to keep rehabilitation by phone calls once a week after discharge.
Perform bed mobility and transfers with the least amount of assistance while maintaining appropriate weight bearing (WB) precautions. Ambulate with an assistive device for 25-100 feet and ascend/descend stairs to allow for independence with household activities while maintaining appropriate WB. Verbalize understanding of post-operative activity recommendations/precautions including use of proper positioning of the lower extremity, range of motion and strengthening exercises.
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Total knee arthroplasty of Quality of life
I hope the Walking stick exercise can to improving the total knee arthroplasty quality of life of patients. I use Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS). There are 5 territories analyzed in the knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score (KOOS) calculator and a knee-related QOL, Scores are transformed to a 0-100 scale, with zero representing extreme knee problems and 100 representing no knee problems as common in orthopedic scales and generic measures. Scores between 0 and 100 represent the percentage of the total possible score achieved. Furthermore, I will follow up to study on the day before surgery at 1, 6, and 12 weeks post-surgery.
Secondary Outcome Measures
lower limb muscle power
I hope the Walking stick exercise can to improving the total knee arthroplasty lower limb muscle power. I use include 30-second chair stand test. Furthermore, I will follow up to study on the day before surgery at 1, 6, and 12 weeks post-surgery.
knee range of motion
I hope the Walking stick exercise can to improving the total knee arthroplasty lower limb muscle power. I use include 30-second chair stand test. Furthermore, I will follow up to study on the day before surgery at 1, 6, and 12 weeks post-surgery.

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to examine whether the effect of "hiking poles exercise" on lower extremity muscular strength, knee range of motion, and quality of life in elderly patients underwent total knee arthroplasty
Detailed Description
This is a longitudinal-experimental study. The data collection and analysis are in a single-blind manner. The study will be undertaken in the Department Orthopaedics of En Chu Kong hospital (approximate 500-bed regional teaching hospital). All patients who meet the inclusion criteria are admitted for primary total knee arthroplasty and assigned to control group or intervention group randomly. The 44 patients in the control group received routine guidance of " Rehabilitation and precautions for artificial knee replacement ". In addition to the routine guidance, the 44 patients in the intervention group received educations of " hiking poles exercise " on the day before surgery and before discharge, as well as a follow-up call at least once a week after discharge.
