Twenty-four-week hospital-based progressive resistance training on functional recovery in female patients post total knee arthroplasty

After total knee arthroplasty (TKA) surgery, a decline in muscle strength is associated with a decrease in function. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the effect of a further 24  weeks of hospital-based resistance training under supervision, and precise dose on knee functional recovery and daily activities for female TKA patients.
