Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Early Initiation of Specific Exercise Therapy
In this group, participants will initiate specific exercise therapy within the first postoperative week. They will receive 40-minute supervised sessions twice weekly for 8 weeks, with a transition to a prescribed home-based maintenance program for an additional 4 months.
Specific Exercise Therapy
The exercise protocol includes mobilisation and stretching with 40-minute sessions twice weekly for 8 weeks post-initiation, transitioning to a home-based maintenance phase for 4 months. All sessions will be supervised by certified physiotherapists.
Delayed Initiation of Specific Exercise Therapy
Participants in this group will begin the same specific exercise therapy protocol at 3 weeks postoperative. Otherwise, the intervention is identical to that provided to the Early Therapy group.
Specific Exercise Therapy
The exercise protocol includes mobilisation and stretching with 40-minute sessions twice weekly for 8 weeks post-initiation, transitioning to a home-based maintenance phase for 4 months. All sessions will be supervised by certified physiotherapists.
