Improving Physical Activity and Gait Symmetry After Total Knee Arthroplasty

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Knee Replacement, Total, Knee Arthroplasty, Total

In brief

The purpose of this pilot study is to examine the effectiveness of the Physical Activity and Symmetry (PAS) program, compared to an attention (ATT)control group, for patients with post-total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The investigators hypothesize that the PAS treatment will result in meaningful improvements in physical activity (PA) and joint loading symmetry compared to the ATT group.
