Mirror therapy after knee replacement surgery
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a mirror during physical therapy can help improve knee function and recovery after a knee replacement. The mirror trick may help your brain 'see' the surgical leg moving smoothly, which could reduce pain and stiffness.
