Article Abstract
Introduction: The concept of body representation overlaps with others, such as body schema, body image, body semantics, structural description, body description or body map. A taxonomy is proposed that classifies body schema, body structural description and body semantics. The aim of this narrative review is to analyze the supply of instruments for neuropsychological assessment of body representation and to propose a classification of their paradigms.
Method: A total of 1,109 articles were obtained and reduced to a total of 71 references by inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Results: A total of 66 instrument names were found, of which 22 were related to body schema, 32 to structural description of the body and 12 to body semantics. Forty five instruments about clinical manifestations not commonly related to neurological etiology (e.g., anorexia, bulimia, hypochondria or schizophrenia) were discarded.
Discussion: A synthesis and classification of paradigms and instruments of interest to the clinic is presented. The need for the creation of validated consensus protocols and their implications are discussed.

Background: Although patients often aim to lose weight after total hip arthroplasty (THA) or total knee arthroplasty (TKA), long-term changes in body mass index (BMI) are unknown. We analyzed BMI at 2, 5, and 10 years after primary THA and TKA and determined predictors of BMI change.
Methods: We identified patients who underwent primary THA or TKA for osteoarthritis between 2001 and 2011 and had a BMI at surgery and at 2, 5, and 10 years postoperatively.
