Functional Capacity (FUNCAP27 Scale) in Knee Arthroplasty Patients: A Prospective Case Series

Prospective case series measuring functional capacity with the 27-item FUNCAP scale across the perioperative course of primary knee arthroplasty. Pre- and post-operative scoring quantifies the patient-reported recovery curve.

Patients scheduled for primary knee arthroplasty at USBALO “Prof. Boycho Boychev” complete the FUNCAP27 functional-capacity questionnaire pre-operatively and at defined post-operative intervals. The case series characterises the trajectory of self-reported function from baseline through recovery and links it to the standard surgical outcome set.
