Summary

The primary aim of this study is to determine the effects of pre-surgery exercise known as Prehabilitation, on functional outcomes for patients following Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) surgery. The hypothesis is patients that receive effective pre-surgery prehabilitation will demonstrate improved recovery as measured by the 6-minute walk (6MW) test at one month post surgery.
