This study determined preoperative predictors of movement and resting pain following total
knee replacement (TKR). We hypothesized that younger patients with higher preoperative
pain intensity, pain sensitivity, trait anxiety, pain catastrophizing, and depression would be

scores on these variables prior to surgery, and that predictors would be similar for resting
pain. Demographics, analgesic intake, anxiety, depression, pain catastrophizing, resting …
