interACTION: A Portable Joint Function Monitoring and Training System for Remote Rehabilitation Following Total Knee Arthroplasty
The purpose of this study is to determine if home-based therapy with monitoring via
telemedicine can overcome many barriers to compliance and improve rehabilitation. Patients
undergoing total knee arthroplasty will be followed for 10 weeks during their outpatient
physical therapy course. Subjects will undergo standard physical therapy or physical therapy
paired with InterACTION for 10 weeks.
