Get moving after knee replacement: online program shows promise
NCT ID NCT06096727
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested an internet-based physical activity program for adults who had knee replacement surgery at least a year ago. 50 participants used the program to increase their moderate-to-vigorous exercise, with researchers measuring pain, physical function, and activity levels at 3 and 6 months. The goal was to see if an online program can help people move more and feel better after knee replacement.
