Summary

Knee osteoarthritis is one of the most common causes of disability in older adults. Total knee replacement (TRK) surgery is often an effective solution when persistent pain does not sufficiently improve with non-surgical treatment. Although most TKR surgeries are a success, an estimated 15% to 30% of patients report no clinically significant improvement in function 12 months after a TKR. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of a patient support program in increasing physical function after a TKR surgery.
