Summary

This study tests whether adding a fall prevention program to standard physical therapy can reduce falls and improve balance in older adults who have had a total knee replacement. About 90 women aged 60 and older will be followed for 24 weeks. The program includes guidance on avoiding falls and is compared to physical therapy alone.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
fall prevention program
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a simple, low-cost way to help older adults avoid falls and stay active after knee replacement surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 90 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The program adds extra effort, and some people may not benefit.
