Scoped audit evidence

These are source- and component-level audit summaries as of 3 October 2026. Access and comparison scope can differ by report; none certifies every result or the underlying raw data.

Total knee arthroplasty

All quoted Locomo reliability values verified. Discussion confirms approximately 30-degree knee flexion. Tester/day confounding and kgf/kg construct caveat remain appropriate.

Source locator: Participants and Methods; Tables 2–5; Discussion first paragraph

Limitations: Body extraction may omit images, equations or supplements. Metadata publication year may represent online-first date, not issue year.
