What this trial studies
This clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of the Trak Rehabilitation Platform in enhancing recovery for patients who have undergone knee replacement surgery. It compares the outcomes of patients using the Trak platform alongside conventional rehabilitation to those receiving only standard rehabilitation. The study focuses on functional recovery, adherence to treatment, independence in daily activities, and overall quality of life. Participants will engage in both at-home sessions using the Trak platform and face-to-face rehabilitation sessions, with data collected through various assessments over a 12-week period.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 85 who have undergone knee prosthesis surgery and require rehabilitation.
Not a fit: Patients with cognitive impairments, a history of knee infections, or those unable to use mobile technology may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to improved recovery outcomes and greater independence for knee replacement patients.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise in using telerehabilitation for various conditions, suggesting potential success for this novel approach.
