Arch Phys Med Rehabil. 2013 Feb;94(2):231-9. doi: 10.1016/j.apmr.2012.10.003. Epub 2012 Oct 12110 patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) who underwent total knee arthroplasty (TKA) were randomised to either follow a functional exercise-based rehabilitation program and to read a home-exercise book, or to be given advice to stay active after being released from hospital. Functional improvements of each group were assessed over a 12 month period. The results displayed that the group who completed the exercise-based rehabilitation program and read a home-exercise book on how to manage kinesiophobia experienced better improvements in disability, kinesiophobia, pain, and quality of life (QOL).
