简要总结
Previous research has shown that use of rehabilitation (including physical therapy) and the recovery of function after knee replacement surgery may differ depending on patients' race, sex, income or insurance, and geographic location. In this study, the investigators will develop and test a new care pathway for knee replacement rehabilitation that is designed to maximize functional recovery for all patients and reduce differences between different groups of patients. Findings from this project will lead to improved rehabilitation quality after knee replacement surgery.
详细描述
In previous work, the investigators used quantitative and qualitative data to identify sociodemographic disparities in physical function and use of rehabilitation following total knee arthroplasty (TKA), or knee replacement surgery. The investigators also identified patient and provider impressions regarding areas of the post-TKA rehabilitation pathway and recommendations for improvements. Based on all of this information, the investigative team has developed a newly-optimized rehabilitation care pathway and will pilot test this approach in this study.
