Knee replacement recovery: comparing body composition groups
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how well people recover after total knee replacement, comparing those with different body composition levels. The goal is to see if a measure called 'phase angle' affects recovery of strength and function.

This study is following patients who are getting a total knee replacement to learn more about how the surgery works and how patients do afterward. If you are planning to have knee replacement surgery for severe knee arthritis, joining this study may help you and others get better care.
This study measures how well people over 50 who have had total knee replacement surgery can balance and move, to see if it's a helpful and safe test after surgery. It does not test a treatment, but it may help doctors understand how patients recover and plan better rehab.
