Summary

This study tests a new clinical decision support tool that helps physical therapists tailor rehabilitation for veterans after total knee replacement. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, the tool uses each patient's recovery data to personalize therapy. The goal is to improve knee function and reduce the number of therapy visits needed. About 200 veterans will take part.
