Brief Summary

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

In patients who have had joint replacement surgery, there is a shortage of concrete evidence regarding the effectiveness of telerehabilitation. The aim of this study is to compare telerehabilitation with home based exercise program and standard home exercise program in total knee arthroplasty.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The primary aim of our study is to assess the effectiveness of telerehabilitation in comparison to the conventional approach, specifically focusing on particular parameters, in the context of post-total knee arthroplasty surgery. This investigation will entail a comparative analysis between a home exercise program prescription supplemented with visual and video resources using telerehabilitation and the conventional home exercise program prescription.

The aim of our study is comparison between two exercise prescription modalities : a standard home exercise program and an internet-based program utilizing the Rehab My Patient software with visual and video support, in addition to telerehabilitation program, which involves exercise prescription oversight via video consultations. This comparison will include the following parameters : range of motion, proprioception , function, kinesiophobia, pain , patient adherence, patient satisfaction and Quadriceps muscle strength.

Telerehabilitation Group Based on Home Exercises

Intervention group is home exercise program supplemented with visual and video resources using telerehabilitation.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Telerehabilitation

Intervention Type OTHER

Intervention group is home exercise program supplemented with visual and video resources using telerehabilitation. With the exercises, there will be video links, exercise visuals, and written explanations. Videos and visuals of the exercises recorded by the physiotherapist and uploaded to the Rehab My Patient application.

Digital exercise forms will be prepared through the Rehab My Patient application. The intervention group will receive exercises, which prepared from the Rehab My Patient application ,digitally through WhatsApp. In this group, exercise sessions will be conducted with the physiotherapist once a week through video calls. Additionally, there will be one instance of messaging and one phone call for follow-up. Video calls and messaging will be conducted through WhatsApp.

Standard Home Exercise Group

Standard home based exercise group

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Standard Home Based Exercise Group

Intervention Type OTHER

Control group, standard home exercise program group , will receive the program as brochures. Although there will be no video supplement, the brochure will include visuals of the exercises. The control group will be monitored through three weekly voice calls.
