Description
Seok Jin Jung and co-authors run a 2025 trial of wearable-guided rehab after knee replacement surgery. One group of women used a wearable motion tracker with a phone app that fed back their movement. The other group followed the standard self-directed program taught at discharge, with clinic visits as usual.
About fifty patients in total were assessed before surgery and at three, six, and twelve weeks after. Measures covered knee bend, pain, stiffness, daily function, quality of life, and walking speed. The tracker group showed better scores on several fronts, above all less pain and stiffness and better function by the final check. The authors conclude that tracker-guided home rehab matched the standard route overall and beat it on some measures. The result supports home tools for recovery after joint surgery.
