Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of the radiofrequency applied to the sensory innervation of the knee, with respect to a control group (standard therapy), in a prehabilitation program aiming to improve the functional recovery of patients undergoing TKA.

In the present study, the investigators hypothesize that participants treated with radiofrequency 4-6 weeks before the surgery, should be able to effectively accomplish the prehabilitation program and, therefore, have a faster recovery of their functional status in the post operative period , compared with the control group (That use the present state of the art approach)
