Summary

Knee arthroplasty is one of the most common surgical procedures, and early rehabilitation is essential for patient recovery, pain modulation and a faster reintegration into daily life activities. However, it has been reported that the percentage of patients who continue rehabilitation for the time required to achieve these outcomes is much lower than those who abandon therapy. This is often due to various factors such as office hours, difficult access to appointments, and sometimes insufficient infrastructure and personnel to meet the demand. Currently, due to the global situation, it is crucial to conduct these rehabilitation processes remotely and virtually, making use of various technological tools that enable patients to interact with the healthcare professionals in charge of their rehabilitation. Among these tools are mobile applications on smartphones, which not only facilitate proper physical preparation, but also offer valuable real-time feedback. Furthermore, 8% of the total cost of knee joint replacements corresponds to the rehabilitation program. These costs are significantly reduced with telerehabilitation assisted by mobile tools, which not only improves patient access but also increases adherence and satisfaction levels by allowing the customization of rehabilitation programs based on each patient's specific needs and characteristics. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness outcomes of an artificial intelligence-guided mobile tool versus conventional rehabilitation during the first three months postoperatively following total knee replacement.

Conditions

  • Musculoskeletal Disorders
  • Knee Osteoarthritis (OA)

Interventions

DEVICE

Telerehabilitation

Patients in the Telerehabilitation group will perform an average of three therapy sessions per week, with data collected and monitored by TRAK's physiotherapists. Both groups will have their results measured monthly by the orthopedic surgeons for 12 weeks (3 months) postoperatively.

OTHER

Conventional therapy group

Patients in the conventional group will be assessed by a professional physiotherapist, scheduling appointments according to their own preferences and disponibility. Both groups will have their results measured monthly by the orthopedic surgeons for 12 weeks (3 months) postoperatively.
