Problem: Total knee replacement (TKR) surgeries are increasing due to ageing populations. Current rehabilitation has a gap - patients do unsupervised exercises at home for 2-3 weeks between hospital discharge and outpatient appointments, leading to poor compliance and complications.
Current Issues: 25% of patients don't achieve meaningful functional improvement for 6+ months, and 20% still have significant limitations after 2 years.
Proposed Solution: Deploy a robot-aided device for intensive, self-paced home rehabilitation exercises to help patients return to near-normal function within 1 month.
Goals: Improve early functional recovery, increase exercise compliance, reduce costs, and enhance long-term quality of life for knee osteoarthritis patients.
Bevonási feltételek: Adults aged 21-80 years old,; Diagnosed to have knee osteoarthritis by clinician; Ability to understand and give consent; Premorbid Functional Ambulation Category of 6; Knee flexion ROM of at least 100 degrees; Ability to sit continuously for 60 minutes.
Kizáró feltételek: Local factors potentially worsened by intensive robot-aided arm therapy and computer-based training: recent limb fracture, knee pain VAS >4/10, fixed knee flexion contracture >10-degree, keen flexion range of motion <100 degree; Presence of co-existing neurological impairments causing lower limb weakness (e.g. stroke); Medical conditions incompatible with research participation: uncontrolled medical illnesses (hypertension or diabetes, ischaemic heart disease, congestive heart failure, bronchial asthma, severe /untreated depression, agitation, end stage renal/liver/heart/lung failure, unresolved cancers; Any musculoskeletal condition that may limit continuous exercise duration of 30minutes; Anticipated life expectancy of < 6 months; Pregnant women; Recent knee operation within past 3 month.
