Inclusion criteria: we are looking for individuals who have been diagnosed with primary osteoarthritis of the knee and are scheduled for their first unilateral total knee arthroplasty. These individuals should not have a history of previous knee surgery due to injury, should have a body mass index of less than 30 kg/m2, and a preoperative knee flexion range of motion greater than 90 degrees. Furthermore, it is essential that either the patients themselves or their relatives have access to and can use the LINE application, something which must be confirmed after a demonstration. The ability to record and send back videos of themselves performing physical therapy exercises for review is also a prerequisite, as is the ability to attend follow-up appointments at the outpatient orthopedics department for at least 6 months.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Patients undergoing revision surgery, those with cognitive impairments, individuals who fail to send back videos of physical therapy exercises, or those facing complications that could affect surgical outcomes, such as knee infections or accidents, will be excluded. Additionally, patients who engage in self-performed supplementary physical therapy exercises, such as exercises done near their homes
