This study examines the feasibility, attainability, and patient satisfaction of telerehabilitation and clinical consultation rehabilitation.
The objective is to assess whether telerehabilitation can provide comparable or significantly better outcomes in terms of functional recovery, pain management, improved range of motion, and patient satisfaction for Total Knee Replacement (TKR) patients. If telehealth interventions prove successful, they can be implemented to increase access to high-quality rehabilitation treatments and enhance healthcare delivery. Evidence-based findings from this study can help healthcare providers make educated decisions about incorporating telerehabilitation into post-operative rehabilitation protocols, thereby enhancing patient care and optimizing resource utilization in orthopedic settings.

| Conventional Physiotherapy | Behavioral | 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. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |

| Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis (WoMAC) | The WOMAC consists of three subscales: pain (five questions), stiffness (two questions), and physical function (17 questions). The subscale scores can vary, with pain ranging from 0 to 20 points; stiffness, 0 to 8 points; and physical function, 0 to 68 points. , | 12 Months |
| Knee Outcome Survey-Activities of Daily Living (KOS-ADLS) | The Knee Outcome Survey (KOS) is a patient-completed questionnaire that provides a percentage of disability during every day activities (activities of daily living subscale) or sports (sports activity subscale). The lower the percentage, the higher the disability. | 12 months |

| Traditional Physical Preatment | Other | 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. |
