Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Inclusion Criteria
  • Primary or revision total knee arthroplasty
  • 105° or less Flexion in knee joint;
  • Last post operation date 6 weeks to 6 month
  • Exclusion Criteria
  • Unilateral arthroplasty in knee joint
  • Other operations in knee joint than total knee arthroplasty
  • Flexion in knee joint more than 105°
  • Operation more than 6 month ago
  • Randomizing: The visitation team assesses all referrals coming from doctors (orthopedic surgeons, general practitioners, private practice specialists) and accepts those patients for admission who are within the visitation guidelines. No members of the visitation have direct patient contact in relation to the training at Montebello. Patients are accepted through the Health Platform (SP) used in the Capital Region of Denmark.
  • After visitation, secretaries will summon patients to planned knee teams on available dates. The secretaries are geographically located 3000 kilometers away from the department and have no knowledge of the research project. In chronological order, in relation to the time of visitation, patients will be summoned to a given date. As there can be a maximum of 11 patients on a given admission date, others awaiting admission will be allocated the next available date and so on.
  • Due to the department's continuous reception of patients, where up to 11 knee patients are received in the same team on a given date, randomization cannot take place at a individual level but at team-level, so that patients hospitalized on the same date do not receive two different interventions since they train together during the 3 weeks.
  • When the actual admission takes place and the patient is physically at Montebello, a joint measurement of the knee joint will be performed by the therapist (this is not part of the project group and does not instruct knee patients). Based on this joint measurement and the other inclusion criteria, relevant patients for the project will be invited to take part in the study and included with consent.
  • Whether a group of patients receives intervention with 2 repetitions or 8 is determined by a drawing by lot after joint measurement has been done. Therapists who will oversee treatment and instruction first learn whether the group should be instructed in 2 or 8 repetitions at the first group training. The same applies to the included patients.
