In Canada, the number of total knee joint replacement (TKR) surgeries performed per year has increased dramatically over the last decade and will continue to increase as the population ages. Although TKR surgery is generally effective in alleviating pre-surgical pain, a significant percentage of recipients don't recover full mobility and many continue to have difficulty with daily tasks. This reduces quality of life while placing an ever increasing burden on the health care system and is the impetus for this work.
