Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The overall goal of this study is to identify what Physical Therapy care components are associated with the best patient-reported functional outcome after Total Knee Replacement (TKR) surgery. The investigators are specifically looking at outcomes at 6 and 12 months after surgery.
