Principal curves have been defined Hastie and Stuetzle (JASA, 1989) assmooth curves passing through the middle of a multidimensional dataset. They are nonlinear generalizations of the first principalcomponent, a characterization of which is the basis for the principalcurves definition.In this paper we propose an alternative approach based on a differentproperty of principal components. Consider a point in the space wherea multivariate normal is defined and, for each hyperplane containingthat point, compute the total variance of the normal distributionconditioned to belong to that hyperplane. Choose now the hyperplaneminimizing this conditional total variance and look for thecorresponding conditional mean. The first principal component of theoriginal distribution passes by this conditional mean and it isorthogonal to that hyperplane. This property is easily generalized todata sets with nonlinear structure. Repeating the search from differentstarting points, many points analogous to conditional means are found.We call them principal oriented points. When a one-dimensional curveruns the set of these special points it is called principal curve oforiented points. Successive principal curves are recursively definedfrom a generalization of the total variance.

The rehabilitation process after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) relies more and more on the family doctor. Many factors contribute to this development: the constantly increasing number of TKA performed, the reduced length of stay at the hospital and the rehabilitation process after TKA requiring care for 3 to 4 months. After this time, it is also of major importance to encourage patients to take up physical activities in order to limit the negative effects of sedentarity. The goal of this paper is to give family doctors an overview of the current knowledge in the area of rehabilitation after TKA for physicians.
