Researchers want to understand whether a simple measurement called phase angle can predict how quickly and how well you recover after knee replacement surgery. Phase angle measures the health and quality of your muscles and body tissues using a painless electrical test. By comparing people with higher versus lower phase angles before surgery, the study aims to discover whether muscle quality affects recovery outcomes.
After knee replacement surgery, some people recover their strength and mobility much faster than others. Doctors don't yet have a reliable way to predict who will bounce back quickly. This study is looking for an early warning sign—phase angle—that might help identify which patients are at risk for slower recovery, so they can get extra support if needed.

Before your knee replacement surgery, you'll visit the research team for a screening appointment lasting a few hours. You'll answer questions about your medical history and activity level, have your muscle strength tested with simple hand and leg strength tests, walk a short distance while they time you, and undergo a painless electrical scan to measure phase angle. Three months after your knee replacement surgery, you'll return for the same tests to see how your recovery compares to where you started. The study will follow you through these two time points.
