Semi\u2010structured face\u2010to\u2010face interviews were audio\u2010recorded, transcribed verbatim, and returned to participants for checking. Data were analysed using qualitative content analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of 12 patients screened for eligibility, 11 met the inclusion criteria, all 10 (consented) completed the interview and none refused participation or dropped out. Three interrelated categories were identified: changing dependency across the recovery trajectory, quality of life after the rehabilitation programme, and motivation for physical activity. Participants described recovery as shaped by both physical and psychological factors, including symptom burden, fear of re\u2010injury, confidence, professional guidance, access to resources, and support for self\u2010management.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Recovery after primary knee surgery was described not only as a functional process but also as one shaped by confidence, self\u2010management, and motivation to engage in physical activity. Follow\u2010up after knee surgery rehabilitation should address self\u2010care, confidence, tailored guidance for physical activity, and access to supportive resources to improve long\u2010term recovery and quality of life.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/pri.70298","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,19]],"date-time":"2026-07-19T14:45:48Z","timestamp":1784472348000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Recovery After Primary Knee Surgery Rehabilitation: Patients' Perspectives on Physical Activity and Quality of Life"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"31","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0059-768X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jos\u00e9","family":"Moreira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Escola Superior de Enfermagem S\u00e3o Jo\u00e3o de Deus Universidade de \u00c9vora  \u00c9vora Portugal"},{"name":"Public Health Research Centre Comprehensive Health Research Centre (CHRC) Escola Nacional de Sa\u00fade P\u00fablica NOVA Universidade Lisboa  Lisboa Portugal"},{"name":"Comprehensive Health Research Centre (CHRC) Universidade de \u00c9vora  \u00c9vora Portugal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5180-2036","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rog\u00e9rio","family":"Ferreira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Comprehensive Health Research Centre (CHRC) Universidade de \u00c9vora  \u00c9vora Portugal"},{"name":"Escola Superior de Sa\u00fade de Beja Instituto Polit\u00e9cnico de Beja  Beja Portugal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elisabete","family":"Alves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Escola Superior de Enfermagem S\u00e3o Jo\u00e3o de Deus Universidade de \u00c9vora  \u00c9vora Portugal"},{"name":"Comprehensive Health Research Centre (CHRC) Universidade de \u00c9vora  \u00c9vora Portugal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9","family":"Flam\u00ednio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Fisioportel Rehabilitation Center  \u00c9vora Portugal"},{"name":"Unidade Local de Sa\u00fade do Alentejo Central E.P.E.
