To assess the efficacy and safety of a home-based knee flexion exercise program compared to standard physiotherapy after total knee arthroplasty.
Randomized control trial design
Participants underwent either home-based enhanced knee flexion exercises or standard supervised physiotherapy
Outcomes measured included mobility and quality of life post-surgery
Home-based exercise program improved mobility significantly compared to supervised physiotherapy (p<0.05)
Participants in the home program reported a higher quality of life score on the relevant assessment (p<0.01)
No adverse effects were reported for the home-based program, indicating its safety.

Discussion
