Clinical Trial Summary

The study was designed to test patient acceptance and system usability and to assess clinical outcomes of a home-based rehabilitation program using a novel kinematic biofeedback system in the rehabilitation after total knee replacement versus conventional rehabilitation, This system allows the patients to perform independent rehabilitation sessions at home, under remote monitoring from the clinical team.

The investigators hypothesize that the system will be well received by patients and that the clinical outcomes will be at least similar those of conventional rehabilitation.

This is a quasi-randomized controlled trial with active comparator. Patients will be enrolled pre-operatively and divided into 2 groups: experimental group and conventional rehabilitation group according to geographical criteria. Both groups will perform 8 weeks of rehabilitation starting between day 7 and 10 after surgery.

The experimental group will perform daily rehabilitation sessions at home using the system, under remote monitoring from a physical therapist. The conventional rehabilitation group will perform 1h rehabilitation sessions 3 times a week, at home, given by a physical therapist.

The following feasibility outcomes will be registered: enrollment rate, retention rate (drop-outs), compliance to the program, independence of use, need for therapist contact and patient satisfaction.

Clinical outcomes will be measured at weeks 4 and 8 and then at 3 and 6 months. The primary outcome will be measured in terms of patient performance in the Timed-up-and-Go (TUG) test in comparison with the pre-operative score. Secondary outcomes will be measured in terms of: b) Knee Osteoarthritis Outcome Score); c) range of motion of the knee joint.
