Summary
This study tests whether a short, digitally guided exercise program before total knee replacement is practical and helpful. Sixty adults with knee osteoarthritis will either do the 10-14 day program or receive usual care. The main goal is to see if people stick with it and find it acceptable, with early looks at recovery and function.
