Optimizing Physical Activity Outcomes After Total Knee Arthroplasty
Optimizing Physical Activity Outcomes After Total Knee Arthroplasty
NCT ID: NCT03226106 Phase: NA Status: COMPLETED Enrollment: 114 Completion: 2023-05-15
Conditions
Total Knee Arthroplasty, Osteoarthritis
Interventions
Physical Activity Behavior Intervention, Attention Control
Summary
Although total knee arthroplasty is an effective intervention for decreasing knee pain and improving physical function, physical activity levels remain low up to a year after surgery. This study will use mobile-health technology to deliver an intervention designed to improve physical activity behavior for Veterans recovering from total knee arthroplasty. The study will assess the effectiveness of using behavior-change intervention as a supplement to conventional rehabilitation to improve physical activity. The intervention will be delivered using home-based tablet computers for Veterans to have remote interaction with the researcher and real-time physical activity feedback from a wrist-worn activity sensor.
Primary Outcome
