Interventions
Conventional Physiotherapy
Each participant received conventional physiotherapy at the clinic as a part of their management plan. Group A exercise was five times a week for thirty minutes, beginning on the third day after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The program aimed to improve leg strength, core stability, balance, and overall performance through exercise instructions. The baseline evaluation was completed one day before the TKA, and the posttest was completed four weeks after the TKA.
Traditional Physical Preatment
Each participant got traditional physical treatment during a video conference as part of telerehabilitation. The physiotherapy assistant contacted Group B to arrange a virtual follow-up clinic appointment via Zoom or WhatsApp, along with a 4-week program. We inquired about the patient's level of satisfaction with their TKR procedure. The patient was informed that clinical photos were taken, and the video call was to be recorded. Before the virtual clinic, each patient's verbal agreement was acquired. With workout instructions, the program pursued to enhance leg strength, core stability, balance, and overall performance. The posttest was conducted four weeks after the TKA, and the baseline assessment was finished one day before the procedure.
