I would be glad to help. I work with mostly outpatients, but do see inpatient TKA'S AND THA'S. Feel free to contact me.

Hi! Meg,
You can find the protocols in most of Physiotherapy or Physical Therapist Journals.
Even clinical Rehablitation journals do published the latest protocols.

Dear Meg:
The Univ. of Iowa published a study about 5-6 years ago in which they tried to answer the
question of how much and what kind of PT should we optimally be supplying. They confirmed that the twice a day Rx was good and they listed the exercises and progression that was tested. Great center and I am a
graduate, so I am biased! Hope this helps.
