Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
All patients receiving TKA will be screened for eligibility. Patients who meet inclusion criteria and provide informed consent will be allocated to either intervention or control group using block randomization. A study team member blinded to subject characteristics will allocate subjects to either group.
Subjects in the intervention group will be guided to do their post-TKA rehabilitation exercises using the investigator's game-based system, which includes the wearable sensor device and mobile application games. Subjects in the control group will be guided to do their post-TKA rehabilitation exercises using conventional, paper-based exercise brochures.
From post-operative day 1, all subjects who are medically fit for physiotherapy will receive 2 sessions of physiotherapy, daily; for at least the first 3 post-operative days. The first session consists of individualized physiotherapy that includes bed exercises and ambulation training. In the second session of physiotherapy, subjects will perform their bed exercises using the game-based system or paper-based exercise brochures. Upon discharge, subjects in the intervention group will continue home-based rehabilitation exercises using the game-based system, while those in the control group continue to use the exercise brochures.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Fun-Knee Mobile Application
Participants will use a mobile application paired to a knee sleeve with embedded inclinometer sensors. The sensor system will compute knee movement, and feed towards game-based rehabilitation exercises for Total Knee Arthroplasty rehabilitation. game-based and supported on mobile device running on Android or Inter-network Operating System platforms. The mobile apps is able to capture the angle and position data from the two inclinometers on smart knee sleeve.
Game-based rehabilitation exercise
4 games (exercises) on operated limb, for 3 sessions daily, until outpatient physiotherapy review visit.
Conventional Exercise Brochures
Participants will be guided to do their Total Knee Arthroplasty rehabilitation exercises using conventional, paper-based exercise brochures.
Conventional brochures of rehabilitation exercise
4 exercises on operated limb, 30 reps each, for 3 sessions daily, until outpatient physiotherapy review visit.
