In general, a person's specific resilience (ability to bounce back from a stressor) is thought to be dependent upon that person's specific biological and genetic makeup. However, these specific elements remain poorly understood. The purpose of this study is to identify important predictors and characteristics of resilience in response to a total knee replacement by examining baseline resilience (prior to surgery) and post-surgical resilience at multiple time points, allowing us to track resilience outcomes over time.
