Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Physical activity does not typically increase after knee replacement; thus, the purpose of this study is to examine if physical activity levels will be higher among knee replacement patients who receive a physical therapist led physical activity intervention during standard physical therapy sessions. Physical activity levels will be assessed at the start of outpatient therapy and at 12 weeks after surgery.
