Abstract: Early monitoring in knee arthroplasty is a critical issue to tackle deviation from expected healing, patient satisfaction and ensuring quality of life. There are various methods suggested and implemented over years with varied degree of performance. This paper presents a relevant review of technology assisted gait analysis in knee arthroplasty. The systematic search revealed 272 studies, of which 13 were added retrospectively through reference screening of the included articles. After title and abstract screening, only 20 studies were included in this review. This review paper provides a comprehensive overview of applications of technology assisted gait analysis to monitor and quantify the status of waking. There is moderate-quality of evidence showed technology-assisted; in particular, sensor-based technology, motion sensors and motion analysis results in a statistically significant improvement in monitoring of gait parameters.

Keywords: gait analysis; knee arthroplasty; gait parameters.
