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.
