Patient Perspectives on Transitions from Acute to Community-Based Physiotherapy Care Following Total Knee Replacement Surgery Within the Context of a Bundled Care Model

CONCLUSIONS: Patients' overall experiences with BC physiotherapy were positive. Areas for improvement included coordination of postoperative physiotherapy and return-to-work support. Patients valued group settings and were interested in meeting previous TKR patients. Health system planners are advised to consider incorporating patient experiences when evaluating and developing BC programmes to achieve patient-centred outcomes.PMID:37736383 | PMC:PMC10510550 | DOI:10.3138/ptc-2021-0053
