Summary
This study tests whether adding a fall prevention program to standard physical therapy can reduce falls and improve balance in older adults who have had a total knee replacement. About 90 women aged 60 and older will be followed for 24 weeks. The program includes guidance on avoiding falls and is compared to physical therapy alone.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a simple, low-cost way to help older adults avoid falls and stay active after knee replacement surgery.
