Summary

This study looks at whether the Iowa Level of Assistance (ILoA) scale is a reliable tool for measuring functional recovery in patients after joint replacement surgery. Researchers will have multiple physiotherapists assess the same patients to see if their scores agree. The goal is to ensure that this scale gives consistent results, which could help standardize recovery tracking in orthopedic care.
