- Original description
This randomized controlled trial evaluates a wearable electrogoniometry-based telerehabilitation system designed to support recovery after total knee arthroplasty. Participants follow the same home-based rehabilitation exercise program and are randomly assigned to an intervention or control group. Participants in the intervention group additionally use a wearable knee device connected to a digital application that provides guidance and real-time feedback during exercise and allows remote monitoring of rehabilitation. Knee range of motion, functional performance, and isometric quadriceps strength are assessed before surgery and during the 12-week postoperative follow-up. The study compares recovery between patients using the technology-assisted rehabilitation system and those following the conventional home-based rehabilitation program.Read full original descriptionShow less
Wearable Knee-Assisted Rehabilitation to Improve Range of Motion and Muscle Strength During Early Recovery After Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Randomized Controlled Trial
This randomized controlled trial evaluates a wearable electrogoniometry-based telerehabilitation system designed to support recovery after total knee arthroplasty. Participants follow the same home-based rehabilitation exercise program and are randomly assigned to an intervention or control group. Participants in the intervention group additionally use a wearable knee device connected to a digital application that provides guidance and real-time feedback during exercise and allows remote monitoring of rehabilitation. Knee range of motion, functional performance, and isometric quadriceps strength are assessed before surgery and during the 12-week postoperative follow-up. The study compares recovery between patients using the technology-assisted rehabilitation system and those following the conventional home-based rehabilitation program.
Inclusion: Adults older than 60 years scheduled for primary total knee arthroplasty for knee osteoarthritis; Ability to attend postoperative follow-up assessments.
Exclusion: Use of constrained implants; Cognitive impairment preventing adherence to rehabilitation instructions; Revision arthroplasty; Inability to participate in follow-up assessments.
