Knee Replacement Rehabilitation Care Pathways
This study is testing new ways to improve recovery after total knee replacement (TKA) surgery. Researchers are comparing a new rehabilitation approach, which includes a special patient education booklet ("TKA Journey") and help with scheduling follow-up physical therapy ("Optimized Rehab Scheduling"), against the usual rehabilitation care. The goal is to help all patients recover well and reduce differences in recovery based on things like race or income. To join, you must be scheduled for TKA surgery at a University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) hospital and plan to use UPMC for your home health or outpatient physical therapy. The study will measure patient satisfaction three months after your surgery. The current status of this study is unclear, and it plans to enroll 275 participants.

What this trial measures
- Patient Satisfaction3 months post-TKA surgery
A patient satisfaction survey will be collected at 3 months post-operative, to query all patients' satisfaction with pre-operative education, ease of scheduling of post-TKA rehabilitation, and perceptions of the overall post-TKA rehab pathway. A modified version of the PSQ-III patient satisfaction survey will be used, in which each construct is rated by the patient on a 1-5 scale, with higher scores indicating greater satisfaction with care.
