NCT04155957 | COMPLETED | Knee Osteoarthritis

Brief Summary:

This is a randomized, non-blinded, parallel assignment, clinical trial for the evaluation of safety and efficacy of ReHub, a telerehabilitation system made up of a cloud platform and an exercise kit with smart sensors, for performing rehabilitation exercises after a primary Total Knee Arthroplasty. Primary TKA patients are allocated randomly to the control arm or the experimental arm with a 1:1 ratio. Both arms follow the usual rapid recovery protocol for TKA surgeries at Hospital Clínic de Barcelona, which includes discharge after 2-3 days from the surgery, the prescription of a daily plan of 5 exercises for autonomous rehabilitation and domiciliary visits by a physiotherapist starting approximately 2 weeks after the surgery. The experimental arm participants use ReHub to do their exercises instead of working independently and physiotherapists monitor their performance and adherence remotely. Outcomes assessment is performed at hospital discharge (baseline), at stitch removal (2 weeks after baseline) and 2 weeks after stitch removal (4 weeks after baseline).
