Brief Summary:
To determine if education about pain given prior to Knee Arthroplasty will result in better outcomes following surgery
Detailed Description:
To determine if a preoperative pain neuroscience education (PNE) program would result in superior outcomes compared to usual preoperative education for total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Patients will receive traditional hospital preoperative TKA program (usual care group) or receive the same program plus an additional 30-minute PNE program (experimental group). Pre and post measurements at 1, 3 and 6 months for pain, function, fear of movement and pain catastrophization.
