Proprioceptive enhancement training & staged rehabilitation training provides superior outcomes in pain relief, functional recovery, and complication reduction post-TKA.

Further findings
| Outcome | Estimate | P value |
|---|---|---|
| Pain (VAS) · After the interventionLower VAS score in Observation; Z = −4.448 | η² 0.228 | P < 0.001 |
| Daily living ability (ADL) · After the interventionLower ADL score in Observation; Z = −2.654 | η² 0.088 | P = 0.008 |
| Balance (BBS) · After the interventionHigher BBS score in Observation; t = 2.980 | Cohen's d 0.665 | P = 0.004 |
| Range of motion (MKFA) · After the interventionHigher MKFA in Observation; t = 4.464 | Cohen's d 0.999 | P < 0.001 |
All functional measures, within groups · After the intervention
- Both groups showed noticeable post-intervention improvement in all functional measures
