Investigating Patient Satisfaction With Smart Knee Implants
Evaluating the Impact of Remote Therapeutic Monitoring on Knee Arthroplasty Recovery
Who can join
Ages 18 and older · All sexes · Healthy volunteers welcome
Full eligibility criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients over 18 years of age * Patients undergoing unilateral primary or revision total knee arthroplasty with the smart knee implant or standard-of-care Exclusion Criteria: * Patients who receive contralateral knee replacement or contralateral or unilateral hip replacement within 90 days before or after their knee replacement in this study * Patients with post-operative weight-bearing restrictions or physical deconditioning prohibiting routine physical therapy participation
About the study
The main goal of this study is to see if there is a connection between the social and economic resources available in a patient's neighborhood (measured by the Area Deprivation Index, ADI) and their recovery after knee replacement surgery, as tracked through remote monitoring. A secondary goal is to find out if patients' self-reported pain and function score are linked to their actual physical improvement after surgery as measured by a remote therapeutic monitoring (RTM) device. Additionally, this study examines whether RTM can reduce the number of postoperative clinic visits within the first 90 days after surgery while maintaining patient satisfaction and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs).
