Fall-prevention program after knee replacement for older women
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a structured fall-prevention program can reduce the number of falls in older women after total knee replacement surgery. It may help you stay safer as you recover and move around.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman age 60 or older
- You had primary (not secondary) knee osteoarthritis

This study tests whether a physical therapy program helps improve walking ability and foot pressure patterns in women who have had knee replacement surgery or have knee problems. The goal is to see if structured rehabilitation helps you walk better and more comfortably.
This study tests a short, digitally supported exercise program that you do for 10 to 14 days before your scheduled knee replacement surgery. It may help you prepare physically and improve your recovery.
This trial tests a structured rehabilitation program to help older adults with knee or hip osteoarthritis and muscle loss (sarcopenia) improve strength and prevent falls. If you qualify, you'll get supervised exercise therapy designed to reduce your fall risk.
This trial studies whether doing a structured exercise or “prehab” program before total knee replacement can improve knee function and patient satisfaction after surgery. It may help you recover better and feel more confident in your outcome.
This trial tests a program of exercise, education, and support to help you prepare for knee replacement surgery. It aims to improve your recovery and quality of life.
This study tests whether doing supervised exercises before knee replacement surgery improves recovery and outcomes. You will be asked to do a training program before your operation, and the researchers will compare results with patients who do not have this pre-surgical training.
