Mirror therapy after knee replacement surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether doing mirror therapy exercises, in addition to standard physical therapy, helps people recover better after total knee replacement. Mirror therapy uses a mirror to create the illusion of movement in the surgical leg, which may improve function and reduce pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
