Overview
Brief Summary
This study will investigate whether the recovery of muscle function of total knee arthroplasty is accelerated with the use of the gekoTM device along with its effect on reducing symptoms such as oedema and inhibition of the muscle function.
Detailed Description
This study will investigate total knee arthroplasty patients: * One group gets standard of care (i.e. performing exercises \& guidance by a physiotherapist via a CE-marked mobile application, called moveUP) * Second group gets standard of care + GekoTM device (i.e. non-invasive neuromuscular electrostimulation applied at the peroneal nerve for 10 days after the operation date.) The primary objective of the study is to assess the post-operative effect of gekoTM on formation of oedema (measured by perometer). The effect of the gekoTM device on the muscle function \& the overall recovery will be also investigated. To collect parameters, the patient will be asked to complete questionnaires, including the following patient reported outcomes (PROMs): Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), Knee Society Score (KSS), Euroqol Health questionnaire EQ5D, Forgotten Joint Score (FJS), Oxford Knee Score (OKS). The collection of the PROMs will give an indication on outcome and overal recovery in the 2 groups.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
The primary objective of the study is to assess the post-operative effect of gekoTM on formation of oedema following Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA)
Time Frame: until end of rehabilitation (+- 3 months after TKA operation)
This is measured by the use of a perometer. For each patient, change in limb volume shall be calculated as a percentage of original limb volume. Shapiro-Wilk test shall be used to test whether there is a significant (p\<0.05) departure from normal distribution in either group.
Secondary Outcomes
- Incidence of Device Deficiency(during 10 days after TKA operation)
- Sleep quality(2 weeks pre-operative until end of rehabilitation (+- 3 months after TKA operation))
- Number of days of crutches use(until end of rehabilitation (+- 3 months after TKA operation))
- Oedema measurements - photographic evaluation(until end of rehabilitation (+- 3 months after TKA operation))
- Pain level(2 weeks pre-operative until end of rehabilitation (+- 3 months after TKA operation))
- Number of days of NSAID intake(2 weeks pre-operative until end of rehabilitation (+- 3 months after TKA operation))
- Recovery of physical activity (PA)(2 weeks pre-operative until end of rehabilitation (+- 3 months after TKA operation))
- Incidence of Adverse Events(until end of rehabilitation (+- 3 months after TKA operation))
- Oedema measurements - subjective slider(until end of rehabilitation (+- 3 months after TKA operation))
- Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROM's)(2 weeks pre-operative until end of rehabilitation (+- 3 months after TKA operation))
- Dosage Painkiller intake(2 weeks pre-operative until end of rehabilitation (+- 3 months after TKA operation))
- Dosage NSAID intake(2 weeks pre-operative until end of rehabilitation (+- 3 months after TKA operation))
- Resume driving a car(until end of rehabilitation (+- 3 months after TKA operation))
- Number of days of Painkiller intake(2 weeks pre-operative until end of rehabilitation (+- 3 months after TKA operation))
- Sleep duration(2 weeks pre-operative until end of rehabilitation (+- 3 months after TKA operation))
- Satisfaction and feedback on the geko device (only for patients using the geko)(during 10 days after TKA operation)
- Overall Net Promotor Score (NPS) of the rehabilitation in general(2 weeks pre-operative until end of rehabilitation (+- 3 months after TKA operation))
