Not Applicable

Active, not recruiting

• Conditions: Knee Injuries
• Interventions: Other: Traditional Physical Preatment; Behavioral: Conventional Physiotherapy

• Registration Number: NCT06457620
• Lead Sponsor: Superior University

Brief Summary

This study examines the feasibility, attainability, and patient satisfaction of telerehabilitation and clinical consultation rehabilitation.

Detailed Description

The objective is to assess whether telerehabilitation can provide comparable or significantly better outcomes in terms of functional recovery, pain management, improved range of motion, and patient satisfaction for Total Knee Replacement (TKR) patients. If telehealth interventions prove successful, they can be implemented to increase access to high-quality rehabilitation treatments and enhance healthcare delivery. Evidence-based findings from this study can help healthcare providers make educated decisions about incorporating telerehabilitation into post-operative rehabilitation protocols, thereby enhancing patient care and optimizing resource utilization in orthopedic settings.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis (WoMAC)	12 Months	The WOMAC consists of three subscales: pain (five questions), stiffness (two questions), and physical function (17 questions). The subscale scores can vary, with pain ranging from 0 to 20 points; stiffness, 0 to 8 points; and physical function, 0 to 68 points. ,
Knee Outcome Survey-Activities of Daily Living (KOS-ADLS)	12 months	The Knee Outcome Survey (KOS) is a patient-completed questionnaire that provides a percentage of disability during every day activities (activities of daily living subscale) or sports (sports activity subscale). The lower the percentage, the higher the disability.
