Overview

Brief Summary

The study concludes that the treatment protocol for knee osteoarthritis, including early postoperative physical therapy and the use of technology-assisted tools, is effective in improving outcomes for patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty. The findings align with the principles of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols and existing literature, showing significant improvements in Active and Passive Range of Motion (ROM), pain scores, and functional outcomes over a 6-month period.
