Implementing a physical activity intervention within outpatient physical therapy for adults after knee replacement is feasible, however, in this pilot study, changes were not observed in moderate intensity physical activity as compared to standard post-operative physical therapy. Future studies are needed to explore additional low-cost strategies and the optimal time to promote physical activity after knee replacement. This article is protected by copyright.
