Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of the KneeMD subject-controlled knee rehabilitation device on the incidence of postoperative FC. The primary endpoints are the preoperative change in active range of motion (AROM) and the incidence of postoperative FC at 2 weeks. Secondary endpoints include the change in AROM in subjects with postoperative FC.

Experimental
The experimental subjects will be treated with current SOC and will also use a kneeMD splint 3 times a day for 20 minutes per session
KneeMD
KneeMD is a subject-controlled knee rehabilita¬tion device that helps subjects who have undergone total knee replacements or other major knee surger¬ies improve range of motion and stretch in extension.
