Testing knee movement in severe knee arthritis before replacement surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study checks how well your knee moves and how that relates to pain and function in people with severe knee arthritis who are about to get total knee replacement. It may help doctors better plan and evaluate treatment before surgery.
