Brief summary: There is no definite evidence about the most effective treatment approach in early-stage rehabilitation after total knee arthroplasty surgery. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of mobilization exercises applied with classical exercises on pain, joint range of motion, edema, function, quality of life and patient satisfaction in early stage rehabilitation after total knee arthroplasty surgery.

Detailed description: There is no definite evidence about the most effective treatment approach in early-stage rehabilitation after total knee arthroplasty surgery. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of mobilization exercises applied with classical exercises on pain, joint range of motion, edema, function, quality of life and patient satisfaction in early stage rehabilitation after total knee arthroplasty surgery. Patients with bicompartmental total knee arthroplasty operation due to knee osteoarthritis will randomly assign to 2 groups. Patients in group 1 will treat with mobilization exercises in addition to classical exercises performed in the early post-op period; patients in group 2 will treat only with classical exercises.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Patients with TKA surgery due to the diagnosis of knee OA
* Between the ages of 50-75 years

Exclusion Criteria:

* Revision TKA,
* Previous unicompartmental arthroplasty or tibial osteotomy,
* Hemophilia,
* Rheumatic diseases,
* Lower extremity fractures and tumors,
* Neurological diseases leading to muscle weakness in the lower limbs,
* Patients with emotional and cognitive problems

Primary outcomes:
measure: Change from Baseline Range of Motion Degree at 2 weeks
timeFrame: Baseline, Post-op 2 weeks, and Post-op 2 months
Secondary outcomes:
measure: Change from Baseline Pain Degree at 2 weeks
timeFrame: Baseline, Post-op 2 weeks, and Post-op 2 months
measure: Function
timeFrame: Baseline, Post-op 2 weeks, and Post-op 2 months
Other outcomes:
measure: Satisfaction levels of the patients
timeFrame: At 2 months
