Brief Summary

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

The study was designed to assess the efficacy of a home-based rehabilitation program using a digital kinematic biofeedback system after total hip or knee replacement.

This is a single-arm prospective study. Patients will be enrolled pre-operatively and will perform an 8-week rehabilitation program starting between day 7 and 10 after surgery.

This program will consist of rehabilitation sessions performed independently by the patient at under remote monitoring from a physical therapist.

Outcomes will be measured at baseline, 4 weeks into the rehabilitation program and at the end of the program.

The primary outcome is the change in patient performance measure through the Timed-up-and-Go (TUG) test in comparison with the pre-operative score. Secondary outcomes will be measured in terms of: a) patient reported outcomes (Hip or Knee Osteoarthritis Outcome Score) and b) range of motion of the relevant joint (hip or knee).

Study Groups

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

Experimental group

Home-based rehabilitation sessions performed with the digital kinematic biofeedback system. Patients will be instructed to perform exercise sessions in at least 5 days per week, but compliance to this schedule is not mandatory per protocol.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Digital kinematic biofeedback system

Intervention Type DEVICE

The system will be used independently by the patients to perform rehabilitation sessions at home, under remote monitoring from the clinical team. A tailored rehabilitation program will be prescribed by the therapist and edited according to patient evolution.
