A comprehensive behavioral and exercise intervention improves physical function and activity participation after total knee replacement – a pilot randomized study

摘要

ObjectiveTo test the feasibility of a comprehensive behavioral intervention (CBI) program that combines intense exercises with an education program to be implemented at a later stage (3 months) post total knee replacement (TKR), and to get a first impression of the effects of the CBI as compared to a standard of care exercise (SCE) program on the outcomes of physical function and physical activity.
