Summary

This study looks at how well people stick to two different home-based programs after total knee replacement surgery: standard physiotherapy exercises and a program that adds music-assisted progressive muscle relaxation. Researchers want to see if adding relaxation improves adherence and leads to better outcomes like less pain, better movement, and improved sleep and mood. The study involves 50 adults aged 50 to 75 who are scheduled for knee replacement.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
home-based physiotherapy and music-assisted progressive muscle relaxation
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that adding relaxation exercises to standard physiotherapy improves adherence and recovery after knee replacement.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The outcomes rely on self-reported diaries, which can be inaccurate.
