This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether doing supervised exercise and receiving personalized education before knee replacement surgery helps patients feel better after surgery and recover more smoothly. Some patients will receive twice-weekly exercise sessions and one-on-one education about what to expect during recovery, while others will receive standard care. The researchers will track how well patients function and how they feel about their knee for up to one year after surgery.
Many patients worry about knee replacement surgery and what recovery will be like. This trial is designed to see whether preparing your body and mind before surgery — through exercise and education — can reduce anxiety, improve how well your new knee works, and help you get back to the activities you enjoy.

If you join the exercise group, you will attend supervised exercise sessions twice a week for about one hour each, from the time your surgeon decides you need surgery until your surgery date. These sessions will include personalized strength, balance, and mobility exercises, plus individual discussions about what to expect during recovery. Both groups will attend a standard pre-operative information session about two weeks before surgery. After surgery, you will complete follow-up assessments at 6 weeks, 3 months, and 1 year to see how well your knee is working and how you are feeling.
