Abstract Background: Total Knee Replacement (TKR) is a widely performed surgical procedure for end-stage knee osteoarthritis. Post-operative physiotherapy rehabilitation is essential for optimizing pain relief, restoring range of motion, improving functional mobility, and enhancing quality of life. However, physiotherapy rehabilitation protocols following TKR vary considerably in terms of timing, content, intensity, and delivery, creating uncertainty regarding best practice.
Objective: To map and synthesize existing evidence on physiotherapy rehabilitation protocols used following Total Knee Replacement and to identify key components, outcome measures, and research gaps.
Methods: This scoping review will be conducted in accordance with the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology and reported following the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. A comprehensive search will be performed across databases including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL, and PEDro. Eligible studies will include adults who have undergone TKR and received physiotherapy-based rehabilitation in any clinical setting. Randomized controlled trials, observational studies, clinical guidelines, and relevant reviews will be included. Data will be charted and summarized descriptively.
Results: The review will present a comprehensive mapping of physiotherapy rehabilitation protocols following TKR, including intervention type, frequency, duration, intensity, timing of initiation, and outcome measures such as pain, range of motion, strength, functional performance, and quality of life.
Conclusion: This scoping review will provide an overview of current physiotherapy rehabilitation practices following Total Knee Replacement, highlight variations in protocols, and identify gaps in the literature to inform future research and clinical practice.
Keywords: Total knee replacement, physiotherapy, rehabilitation protocols, postoperative rehabilitation, scoping review
