Summary

In this study, we will investigate the rehabilitation approaches commonly used by physiotherapists in Pakistan following total knee replacement. Total knee replacement is a frequently performed surgical procedure, and effective postoperative rehabilitation is essential for improving pain, mobility, and functional outcomes. A web-based cross-sectional survey will be conducted among practicing physiotherapists from different provinces of Pakistan. Data will be collected using a structured questionnaire to explore demographic characteristics, rehabilitation techniques employed at various stages of recovery, and challenges faced in post-TKR rehabilitation. The collected data will be analyzed using appropriate descriptive and inferential statistical methods. The findings will help identify prevailing rehabilitation practices and variations among physiotherapists. This study will contribute to understanding current clinical trends, identifying gaps in practice, and promoting the use of evidence-based and standardized rehabilitation protocols. Ultimately, the results will support improved patient recovery, guide professional training, and assist in developing consistent post-TKR rehabilitation strategies in Pakistan.
