Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Total Knee Arthroplasty is becoming an increasingly common operation. An important part of a successful overall patient outcome is regaining functional range of motion after surgery. Wearable devices for fitness have become increasingly common. This study seeks to utilize wearable technology to enhance the post-operative rehabilitation experience by allowing patients and surgeons to monitor patient recovery in real time. The Consensus TracPatch is a wearable device which utilizes an accelerometer, temperature sensor and step count to monitor patient recovery. This tool provides critical, real-time information that may offer a more complete source of data to understand a patient's postoperative clinical and rehabilitation course and guide physician postoperative management. The study hypothesizes that this new technology will improve patient postoperative mobility and patient-physician communication.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Patients who meet enrollment criteria will be randomized to either the treatment group where they will receive their consensus tracpatch or be assigned to the control group where no wearable technology will be employed.

NONE

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Wearable Technology Group

Patients in this arm will be provided with their own Consensus TracPatch wearable device postoperatively and instructed on its use for six weeks.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Consensus TracPatch

Intervention Type DEVICE

Consensus TracPatch will be attached to the participant's shin approximately two inches below the knee through use of an adhesive strip similar to a standard bandage for 6 weeks after total knee arthroplasty.

Current Standard of Care Group

Patients in this arm will not be provided with any wearable device. Participants will be evaluated as part of the study for a total of six weeks.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
