Pre-surgery exercises for knee replacement patients
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
