NCT ID NCT06290336
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether doing supervised exercise and learning about recovery before total knee replacement helps patients feel better and function better one year after surgery. About 110 adults with knee osteoarthritis awaiting surgery will be randomly assigned to either the prehabilitation program or standard care. The main goals are to see if the program improves how aware patients are of their knee and how well they cope after surgery.
