This trial tests whether using an AI-assisted 3D visualization of your knee before surgery can reduce anxiety and fear of movement (kinesiophobia) after knee replacement. You would receive extra visual education along with standard care to see if it helps you feel less stressed and more confident about moving after surgery.
