ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how well people function in their lower limbs after having knee surgery called meniscectomy, which is performed to repair damage to the knee's meniscus (a cushion in the joint). The study aims to find out if patients do better with or without physical therapy after their surgery. Researchers will evaluate the patients' ability to move around, their pain levels, and how worried they are about moving again.

To join the study, participants need to be between 20 and 65 years old and have had meniscus surgery on one knee in the past five years. They should be able to walk independently and understand the study's requirements. If eligible, participants will be assessed on their mobility and other factors, helping researchers learn more about the best care after knee surgery. This trial is not currently recruiting participants, but it aims to provide valuable information for improving recovery after meniscus surgery.
