Summary
This study tests whether a guided exercise program done at home before knee replacement surgery can help people recover better. 84 adults scheduled for knee replacement will be asked to do simple exercises daily from the day they are admitted until surgery. Researchers will measure pain, stiffness, and function using a standard questionnaire, and also track how well participants stick to the exercise plan.
