简要总结
This study involves an exoskeleton which is believed to increase quadriceps muscle strength in the rehabilitation phase after TKA and reduce the discharge the such patients in Extended care facility (ECF) . The purpose of this study is to access efficacy of the robotic exoskeleton device wrapped around the operated knee on patients

研究组 & 干预措施
robotic exoskeleton device
Patients who are scheduled to be discharged to a ECF will be asked if they would want to use the exoskeleton device ( for which safety and comfort has been established) instead of going for ECF.
干预措施: Robotic exoskeleton device (Device)
结局指标
主要结局
Predicting discharge location after TKA
时间窗: 2 years
The objective of this study is to observe how many patients are not transferred to ECF in the post-surgery time period as a result of using a robotic exoskeleton on operated knee. We will list number of patients NOT going for ECF.
次要结局
- Evaluate the effectiveness of the robotic exoskeleton device at time of discharge(upto 2 weeks)
- Evaluate the effectiveness of the robotic exoskeleton device at time of discharge through 2 years(up to 2 years)
- Evaluate the effectiveness of the robotic exoskeleton device at post operative follow up(2 weeks and 3 months)
