COmmunity based Rehabilitation after Knee Arthroplasty (CORKA). A Prospective two arm individually randomised controlled trial.

This study will determine the difference in outcome for people undergoing knee arthroplasty (knee replacement), between a community based rehabilitation programme and usual care.

Participants in this study will be randomly assigned to either usual care or a community based rehabilitation programme. The programme will consist of exercises and practice of functional activities. It will be set up by a Physiotherapist and supervised by a Rehabilitation Assistant with occupational therapy involvement.

The study will help to inform the way rehabilitation after knee replacement is delivered, determining whether a home based rehabilitation programme is different usual care physiotherapy.
