A dissertation Master of Science in nursing education / Integrated care pathways (ICP’s), for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and partial knee arthroplasty (PKA) have been used successfully in the last two decades. ICP’s have been known among other terms as ‘critical care pathways’, ‘algorithms of care’, ‘patient care pathways’, ‘collaborative care pathways’. The main aims of an ICP is that it coordinates the efforts of the members of the multi-disciplinary team through the alignment of the objectives of patient care processes. It improves outcomes of care and patient satisfaction is supported by comprehensive patient information provision both verbally and written. It is generally accepted that ICPs have an impact on the length of stay of patients in hospital, thus further enhancing the feeling of wellbeing of patients but also significantly contributing to the cost of surgery, care and rehabilitation.

The present study attempted to characterize laxity in cruciate deficient knees using the Genucom System comparing the neutral to the resting position of the tibia. A quadriceps active technique was compared to a passive protocol at four knee flexion angles: 60, 70, 80 and 90 degrees. Eight ACL and eight PCL injured subjects performed active and passive anterior-posterior knee drawer tests. These tests were performed during two sessions to verify their reliability. Posterior and anterior laxity were recorded for the PCL and the ACL injured subjects, respectively. Laxity was measured at forces of 60, 90 and 130 Newtons. A feedback unit (Biostim 6010) was used to monitor muscular contraction during application of protocols. Results revealed a significant anterior tibial shift (p $<$.05) in the PCL injured patients when comparing active to passive tests. No significant anterior tibial shift occurred in the ACL injured patients when performing the same comparison. The Genucom produced reliable results across two sessions for both PCL and ACL groups. Posterior laxity of PCL injured subjects was similar for knee flexion angles between 60 and 90 degrees. ACL injured subjects had statistically similar anterior laxity at knee flexion angles between 60 and 90 degrees.
