Study Overview
Brief Summary
In this study, the investigators are investigating the effects of physical therapy (PT) for treating high grade knee osteoarthritis (OA) in patients that are candidates for total knee replacement. Through the examination of patient outcomes, such as pain, stiffness, and physical function, the investigators will determine if PT prior to total knee replacement is an effective treatment in a patient with high grade OA.
