Improving Physical Activity and Balance after Total Knee Replacement

The purpose of this research study is to compare how well two types of physical therapy (PT) programs work for people who have recently had total knee replacement (TKR). One program is typical postoperative PT. The other program is typical postoperative PT with additional balance training and physical activity coaching. By doing this study, we hope to provide people who have TKR in the future, as well as their health care providers, with information that will help people following TKR to increase their physical activity and improve their walking mechanics after TKR.
