Comparing a Smart Knee Brace to Physical Therapy After Knee Replacement
This study is comparing two ways to recover after a total knee replacement (TKA). One group will use a smart knee brace called the FM2 Knee Brace, and the other group will have standard outpatient physical therapy. You might be able to join if you are between 18 and 100 years old, are having your first total knee replacement, have a smartphone that can use the brace's app, and will go home after surgery. The study will look at how well you can move your knee (range of motion) before surgery, and then again at 6 weeks and 3 months after surgery. The current recruitment status is unclear.
- Study design
- This is a randomized study comparing two rehabilitation methods after total knee replacement. About 80 participants will be involved.
- What's involved
- Not specified in the trial record.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your knee's range of motion will be measured up to 3 months after surgery.

What this trial measures
- Range of Motionpre-surgery
The study will collect measurements of knee flexion, extension, total arc of motion, and will also plan to record therapy compliance and complication rates. The two groups will be compared to study if the FM2 Knee Brace group is clinically non-inferior to the standard PT group with respect to knee range of motion.
- Range of Motion6 weeks post-surgery
The study will collect measurements of knee flexion, extension, total arc of motion, and will also plan to record therapy compliance and complication rates. The two groups will be compared to study if the FM2 Knee Brace group is clinically non-inferior to the standard PT group with respect to knee range of motion.
- Range of Motion3 months post-surgery
The study will collect measurements of knee flexion, extension, total arc of motion, and will also plan to record therapy compliance and complication rates. The two groups will be compared to study if the FM2 Knee Brace group is clinically non-inferior to the standard PT group with respect to knee range of motion.
- Range of Motion1 year post-surgery
The study will collect measurements of knee flexion, extension, total arc of motion, and will also plan to record therapy compliance and complication rates. The two groups will be compared to study if the FM2 Knee Brace group is clinically non-inferior to the standard PT group with respect to knee range of motion.
