About the trial

What the trial wants to find out

This study aims to investigate the effects of a structured physical therapy and rehabilitation program on gait temporospatial parameters and plantar pressure distribution in patients who have undergone total knee replacement surgery.

Read full original descriptionShow less

Patients undergoing total knee replacement often experience alterations in gait patterns and weight distribution, which may affect functional mobility and recovery outcomes. This study will evaluate whether a targeted rehabilitation program can improve walking performance and restore more symmetrical plantar pressure distribution.

Participants will be assessed before and after the intervention using objective gait analysis and plantar pressure measurement tools. The findings of this study may help improve rehabilitation strategies and enhance functional recovery following knee replacement surgery.
