No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Traditional home health care for individuals recovering from unilateral TKA is expensive and provides a higher level of service than most individuals, aged 45 to 64, require. Use of smartphone technology has the potential to drive down costs while maintaining outcomes for this patient population. The proposed randomized controlled trial would determine the efficacy and proper dose-response of a smartphone app to reduce costs and maintain outcomes for the desired patient population compared to traditional home care.
